I offer therapy, including EMDR, for a range of issues commonly experienced as challenging ; such as anxiety, depression, trauma, relationships, bereavement / loss, difficulties experienced in life crisis and transitions (relationships, parenthood, midlife), cultural issues, low self esteem, and identity issues (sexuality, role/job, cultural). I have a special interest in the experience of uprooted childhoods - family break up or displacement and its effect on identity and the ability to feel trust. I also offer Perinatal support sessions to women in pregnancy and in the weeks following birth.

I provide an open, warm and confidential space which enables clients to explore issues, which may have been difficult to deal with alone. I view therapy as an individual process and a journey of self discovery that create an opportunity to become aware of inner conflicts and unhelpful patterns of behaviour. I recognise that there is not one approach to therapy that will suit everyone. Hence, I incorporate integrative approach that means I can adapt therapy to each client and their individual needs. I can offer help and have worked with people struggling with a range of conditions including depression, anxiety or adjustment.

Scrolling to find the right therapist? It's overwhelming, but my job is to make the process easier. I am a licensed Psychotherapist (MSc) who works with adults (18+) and specializes in relationships, anxiety, depression, trauma, coping with grief and loss, and eating disorders. Are you the kind of person who uses a smile to distract others from your pain? Then you're in the right place. I am here to facilitate you in creating your own bubble and safe space. I am curious to understand more about your own inner world since it looks so different for each of us.

I am an accredited integrative psychotherapist (MBACP) with a special focus on trauma and dissociation. I work relationally, which means that, through the therapeutic relationship, you are encouraged to understand how early experiences and past relationships impact on your present difficulties. In order to access emotions and past traumatic experiences trapped in the body I sometimes use a more mindful and somatic approach in addition to traditional talking therapies. Of special interest to me is how unresolved and traumatic experiences can be healed and transformed by a greater integration of the mind and body.

I have spent the last twenty years helping clients resolve trauma and anxiety problems and intend to spend the next twenty doing the same.

You may experience anxiety, anger, depression, relationship and sexuality difficulties, addictive behavior. Talking therapy helps to understand our emotions so that we can identify and manage negative feelings or unwanted habits. When working together, client and therapist explore present and past events to identify the relation between the present emotions and the early life experiences. By understanding how childhood experiences affect our emotions and behavior as adults, it is possible to understand the root of the problem.

You might feel stuck in patterns that you can't seem to break free of, or have difficulty connecting with other people, or feeling true intimacy. Or you might have been putting on a 'mask' to go out to work and function in the world, but underneath are living with pain in various forms: depression, anxiety, grief or anger. If you feel motivated to make changes but don't know where to start, then psychotherapy might be right for you. With time, as you start to feel safe enough to talk in depth about the things that have been troubling you, therapy can become a very real relationship of trust and openness.

Clicking through profiles can feel bewildering. However, finding a relationship where you feel trusting enough to speak freely, can be transformative. To experience yourself deep in conversation, expressing thoughts you might otherwise avoid disclosing and reflecting on feelings that may previously, have felt too painful to confront. I am an accomplished clinician working with clients in crisis or seeking greater understanding and change. I am impartial, attentive, curious and open. My warm & pragmatic approach will support us through the first few meetings, as we begin to consider the intricacies and complexities of your life.

I understand when you feel alone and isolated with no one to turn to. At times it feels difficult to share your worries with those closest to you for a variety of reasons, including fear of judgement and feeling that you might let someone down. I will work with you to unpack your concerns and worries with the aim of you finding an way through some of those troubles. My aim is to also ensure that you feel safe and your problems are held in confidence and that you experience being supported throughout the therapeutic journey.

The world can be frustrating when you get tangled up in unhealthy thinking patterns. You can feel lost, or overwhelmed, with moments of real darkness. That is where I can help. If you lose control of your anger or your anxiety holds you back, we can unpack what makes you tick. If you hide your emotions in harmful behaviour, we can uncover them. What I enjoy most is helping people to build healthy relationships with themselves and others. I used to this when working with the Prince's Trust and Mind, the leading UK mental health agency. This gave me insight into those dealing with addiction, anxiety and depression.

I am an Integrative Psychotherapist and I work with depression, anxiety, early relational trauma, relationship difficulties, abuse, attachment issues, low self-esteem, life transitions and bereavement. I firmly believe in the power of human connection and that fostering a supportive and nurturing environment is essential for healing and personal growth, while also understanding that true transformation often requires stepping out of the comfort zones to embrace challenges. I aim to create a dynamic and empowering therapeutic experience, a space for both vulnerability and exploration.
