Relationships can be incredibly rewarding, yet sometimes they become sources of pain, confusion, or shame. Whether you're dealing with communication breakdowns in your marriage, complex family dynamics, or struggling with addictive behaviours that affect your intimate connections, you deserve compassionate support. You're looking for someone who truly understands the complexities of human relationships and addiction without judgment.
I specialise in psychodynamic therapy, systemic therapy , and CBT. I also have some specialist training in working with sex addiction, trauma, and autism. I've been practicing psychotherapy for over 30 years, including 11 years at Relate (2005-2016) working with couples, families, and individuals. I've run my own private practice since 2011.
Taking the first step toward healing takes courage, and I want to honor that. In our work together, you'll find a genuine partnership focused on understanding, growth, and rebuilding the connections that matter most to you.

I integrate systemic, psychodynamic, and CBT approaches based on your specific needs. In our first session, we'll explore what's brought you to therapy and create a personalised treatment plan. My systemic approach examines relationship patterns and family dynamics, whilst psychodynamic work explores deeper emotional patterns. I can also incorporate CBT techniques for practical coping strategies.
