There are lots of reasons why someone might consider therapy; it could be due to anxiety, depression, the breakdown of a relationship, bereavement, the loss of a job, or a nagging feeling that something does not feel quite right. I am here to provide you with a safe, confidential space where you can feel supported in your journey of self-exploration, allowing you to process your thoughts, feelings, behaviours, hopes, and fears. I believe that through therapy we can gain insight and understand ourselves better, which can be life changing. I also offer affordable, low-cost therapy, and each 50-minute session is £40.00
My approach to psychotherapy is relational-integrative, which means that I believe the most important part of therapy is our relationship, serving as a way of better understanding the relationships in your life and with yourself. I also draw on a range of therapeutic approaches to help give personal meaning to your experience.
I am dedicated to providing anti-oppressive, culturally sensitive, and ethical practice. I offer both short and long-term counselling and psychotherapy, which is weekly and in-person. We can have a 15-minute initial online session, which is an opportunity to ask any questions and to explore how we might work together.

At the heart of my practice is Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, which considers how early relationships can influence present life. I also incorporate Humanistic Psychotherapy, which emphasises what is happening in the 'here-and-now' to help make sense of your experiences.
