You might feel like you’re holding everything together on the outside, while inside things feel messy, heavy, or hard to make sense of. My clinical masters level informed approach offers a space for you to explore your experiences at your own pace, within a safe, compassionate, and non-judgmental environment. Together, we’ll gently make sense of what’s happening for you and begin to uncover what might be keeping you feeling stuck, with the aim of opening up the possibility for change. I centre my work on the belief that healing happens through a genuine, trusting connection, so that meaningful and lasting change can take place.

I work with adults who have done some of the obvious work and reached the harder, less obvious layer underneath. People who are not in crisis but are not where they want to be. People who have had insight without it producing change. I am a registered integrative psychotherapist and occupational therapist with thirteen years across the NHS, The Priory, private practice and corporate settings. I see clients in person in Broadway, Worcestershire, and online across the UK and internationally. I am registered with the UKCP and BACP for psychotherapy and the HCPC for occupational therapy and I work with most major UK insurers.

I’m a UKCP and BACP-registered Gestalt psychotherapist based near Ealing Broadway. I work with individual adults.   My approach is non-judgemental and collaborative. I focus on helping you gain awareness on what's going on for you by slowing things down, noticing what’s happening in the present moment, and exploring new perspectives that may emerge.  I've got a background in business, so I understand the stresses of the working world, but I’ve also worked with clients facing a wide range of challenges. These include anxiety, depression, relationship issues, feeling stuck or working through a life transition.

Counsellor, MNCPS Acc.

I became a therapist after facing challenges in my own childhood, which showed me how transformative understanding and support can be. Over the years, I’ve worked with people experiencing grief, loss, adoption-related experiences, and ongoing stress. Painful or distressing memories and thoughts sometimes keep returning, no matter how hard we try to avoid or manage them. Putting others first, struggling to say no, or pushing yourself to keep going can feel familiar. These coping strategies helped at the time, but over the years they can become exhausting or feel like the new “normal.”

We all go through difficult periods in our lives. Sometimes for easily identifiable reasons - bereavement, loss, heartbreak, employment stress, family or relationship difficulties, trauma. But sometimes things don't feel right and we don't know why. Perhaps you wake up with a feeling of dread. Perhaps you feel empty, going through the motions of a life that no longer feels like the one you wanted. Talking to friends or family can feel impossible, either from shame or a fear of being a burden. It's easy to become trapped in lonely isolation and feel helpless to effect change. I hope I can help you to lighten the load.

In my experience people seek therapy for many different reasons. They may be facing a predicament, be anxious, depressed or confused, or feel stuck in repeating patterns of thoughts and behaviour that have adverse effects on their lives. They may have relationship difficulties or questions about their sexuality; they may be finding it difficult to deal with the loss of a person, a position or an identity.

You might be at a point where you feel disconnected from yourself, constantly wearing a mask, or trapped in a state of high alert. You’re likely great at holding it all together for everyone else, but underneath, you feel completely exhausted and overwhelmed. It might be hard to remember the last time you felt truly at ease or enjoyed your life. If you are looking for a space where you can finally put the mask down, you are in the right place.
