My ideal client feels stuck—overwhelmed by stress, past trauma, or deep self-doubt. They may struggle with anxiety, emotional numbness, or chronic tension, carrying the weight of old wounds that still shape their present. They long for balance, self-acceptance, and a deeper connection with their body but often feel disconnected or unheard. Their goal? To heal, grow, and reclaim their sense of wholeness. They want to feel safe in their own skin, free from past pain, and empowered to live fully. They’re ready for change—they just need the right support to guide them forward.

Hello, and welcome to my page. I am a Transactional Analysis psychotherapist. I work in a relational framework, both short and long-term. Occasionally, we need extra support for this to happen, and this is where our work will start. It all sounds easy, yet having the courage to begin therapy might be one of the most challenging steps you will take. In my practice, I offer a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore the issues that make you feel anxious and distressed.

I am a BACP registered integrative therapist using a variety of approaches depending on the needs of each client. My approach is collaborative, practical and personal. I believe that human beings are naturally resilient and have an incredible capacity for change in the right supportive environment. We are often held back by our limiting core beliefs and by bringing awareness to our repeated patterns of behaviour, we can identify areas where we are “stuck” and are held there by our core beliefs. My aim is to help clients make space for new possibilities and new ways of being by challenging these limiting core beliefs together.

Sometimes people seek therapy because of a specific problem, such as feeling anxious or depressed. Other times, it's due to a difficult life transition or a sense of being stuck in repeating patterns, feeling empty or unfulfilled. For others, there’s no clear reason—just a sense that something isn’t quite right, and an idea that therapy could perhaps help make sense of it. Exploring these feelings with another person can open doors to understanding and offer glimpses of different ways of being that may have been previously out of reach.

Finding a psychotherapist can be daunting, and very confusing, with a lot of terminology and names that might feel complicated and mystifying. My view is that therapy doesn't need to be so confusing and shrouded in secrecy and strange names. To put it simply, I offer you the chance to talk about whatever might be troubling you in total confidence at the same time, on the same day, in the same place, every week. That consistency, alongside the relationship we will develop, is all part of the healing process that therapy can provide.

More often than not, the roots of emotional problems go deeper than normal awareness can reach, and my role is to enable you to identify, and focus on, some of the destructive ways of relating to yourself and others that might leave you feeling depressed, anxious or alone. ​ Together, we will create a safe and creative environment, which will help you to explore the different aspects of yourself – some which harmoniously coexist, and others that are at odds with each other.
