I am a BACP-registered therapist with experience of working with people with a diverse range of difficulties. These include anxiety, trauma, depression, unsatisfactory relationships, sexual abuse, sexuality & identity, low self esteem, loss & bereavement, life stage crisis and other concerns that make life feel difficult to navigate. I have specialist training in eating disorders, group work and trauma informed therapy.

At the core of my practice is my belief in the importance of seeing the individual in front of me and I aim to hear and learn to understand your needs in relation to you. You can expect to feel listened to, understood and supported.

When you work with me, you won’t be met with a silent therapist or what is sometimes described as a "blank screen". I take a collaborative and engaged approach to therapy and while  I will give you the space to explore your thoughts and feelings at your own pace, I will also be actively alongside you, listening, reflecting and helping us to make sense of what emerges together.

Whilst my approach is primarily psychodynamic, I do not believe that one size fits all, so I draw upon a range modalities. I help to understand not only what you are feeling now, but also the deeper patterns, relationships and past experiences that may be influencing you now.

I offer warmth, openness and curiosity, providing a creative and flexible environment in which you can feel safe enough to explore all parts of yourself including those that might feel overwhelming, challenging or unacceptable. I hope that our work together will enable you to begin to heal and grow.

Please get in touch to arrange an initial phone consultation where you can tell me a bit about what you need and I can tell you more about the way that I work, what you can expect from a session and my fees.
