With over ten years of academic and clinical experience, I bring both depth and balance to my work. Trained in Clinical Psychology, Counselling, and Psychotherapy, I’m a registered member of the BACP and UKCP – two of the most respected and demanding professional bodies in the UK. Gaining these registrations required years of rigorous study, supervised clinical practice, and a thorough professional assessment, ensuring that my work meets the highest ethical and clinical standards. This journey has shaped a grounded yet flexible approach that adapts to the unique needs of each person I meet.
Therapy, for me, is a space for honesty, growth, and self-discovery. My approach is warm and empathetic — for therapy to work well, I want my clients to feel safe, seen, and understood. Together we can gently untangle old patterns, bringing more clarity, freedom, challenge and self-acceptance to the way you live and relate to yourself and others.
Rooted in Gestalt Psychotherapy, my work focuses on the present moment and the connection between mind, body, and emotion. I believe in our constant adaptation to change and I draw on years of experience in the NHS to support people through anxiety, loss, trauma, and transitions — guiding you toward a more grounded, authentic way of being.

In our first sessions, we'll take time to slow down and really listen to what's happening beneath the surface. Together, we explore what feels stuck or unresolved, bringing awareness and compassion to the parts of you that need attention. From this space, challenge, change and clarity can begin to emerge.
