You may be someone who has always managed. You get on with things, think your way through problems and are often the person others rely on. But something has changed. Perhaps you feel exhausted, overwhelmed or unlike yourself. Something from the past may still affect you, or you may find yourself repeating patterns you understand but cannot seem to change. You might be struggling after trauma, loss or a difficult relationship, or simply wondering why life feels harder than it used to. You may have reached the point where coping is no longer enough.
I’m an experienced integrative psychotherapist. I work particularly with trauma, burnout, difficult relationships and the experiences that can leave us questioning ourselves or how we got here. I’m interested in what sits beneath the problem: where patterns came from, why they made sense, and what keeps them going now.
Finding the right therapist matters. My approach is thoughtful, collaborative and down to earth. You don’t need to know exactly what is wrong or arrive with the right words. We can start with what is happening now and work from there. I offer online therapy to adults across the UK and a free 15-minute introductory call.

I have particular experience working with trauma, PTSD, burnout and the psychological impact of demanding work. I'm interested in how our experiences shape the way we see ourselves and other people, and why ways of coping that once made sense can eventually begin to cause difficulties of their own.

I work integratively, which means I don't assume that one way of understanding people will fit everyone. We may explore what has happened in the past, what is happening in your life now, or the thoughts, feelings and patterns that emerge between the two. I'm interested in understanding what makes sense for you, rather than fitting you to a theory.
