You may be seeking therapy because something feels overwhelming, painful, stuck, or hard to understand. You might be struggling with anxiety, low mood, trauma, grief, identity, relationships, emotional regulation, self-esteem, neurodivergence, chronic health concerns, or experiences that have not always been recognised by others. I work well with people who want a thoughtful, collaborative space to understand themselves, make sense of patterns, and feel less alone with what they carry. Together, we can explore what is happening now, how past experiences may still be affecting you, and what may help you feel clearer and steadier.
I am an integrative therapist with NHS, third-sector, private, school and low-cost experience. I draw on person-centred, psychodynamic and CBT approaches in trauma-informed, culturally responsive and anti-oppressive therapy. As an American expat who has lived in five countries, I support expats of all ages with migration, identity, belonging and transition.
Reaching out for therapy can feel like a big step, especially if you are used to carrying things alone or have not felt fully understood. You do not need to have everything figured out. I offer a thoughtful and non-judgemental space, and warmly welcome LGBTQ+ people and people of colour. We can move at your pace and see if working together feels right.
