I wonder what it feels like to find yourself here, looking for some kind of support? Maybe you are struggling to 'make sense' of what you've been experiencing in your life recently? Many of my clients inhabit a crowded yet empty world, in which they cannot easily 'hear' themselves, or feel that they are not 'understood' by those around them. Perhaps you feel a little like this too? My first hope as a counsellor is that working collaboratively you will feel both heard and understood - maybe for the first time. When this happens, we begin to develop the inner resources needed to discover and engage with who we truly are.

I am a therapist working in Oxford, Cheltenham and online. I undertook my training in Psychodynamic Practice at Oxford University, reading a Masters in Psychodynamic Practice, and continued into research within the University. Therapy is not just meeting once per week for fifty minutes, it is a relationship based on trust, privacy and the assurance that I will seek to understand you, without judgment and without prejudice. My role is to create a supportive, non-judgmental and highly confidential environment where I will listen attentively to both what is said and what remains unspoken.

I found my way to being a Psychologist because I am deeply curious about people and what makes us ‘tick’ and I struggle to see suffering without doing something to help. Until 2022, I worked for the NHS with people who have experienced trauma and who have complex emotional needs. I was also a DBT Therapist in the NHS Trust’s small DBT Service. I work with adults, aged 18 and over, and whether you're struggling with emotion regulation difficulties, interpersonal challenges, depression, anxiety, social anxiety, grief and trauma or with difficulty adjusting to life changes and challenges, psychological therapy can help.

People come to therapy when they’re stuck. Whatever the issue, they also bring their feelings, including one of the most fundamental feelings of all: discouragement. When courage takes a hit, we question who we are, whether we have what it takes, and whether we are enough. To face the challenges that confront us when we're living our lives, we need to have courage - and full access to our courageousness - so that we can face whatever comes, connect with people and feel a sense of belonging, notice our strengths and whether we overuse or underuse them, and feel like we make a difference in some way, in the world.

Life can bring about unexpected change in the form of bereavement, illness, relationship breakdowns or difficulties, loss of employment or purpose. When this happens, it is common to feel a whirlpool of emotions including anger, guilt, worry or shame; and these feelings can be overwhelming. For some it is possible to push these feelings away, but then find yourself feeling flat and numb, unable to find the joy that once came spontaneously. It can change the way you feel about yourself and your life.
