My Approach

I am an integrative psychotherapist. This approach brings together different styles of therapy so that each therapeutic relationship can be tailored to the person I am working with. I was drawn to training in this way as it recognises that we are all unique and offers different approaches for life’s difficulties. I am sensitive to how our race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality and class backgrounds shape our identities.

I offer a warm and supportive space where you can share what has brought you to therapy. People come to therapy for all sorts of reasons; all are valid.

Perhaps you are feeling depressed, anxious, angry, stuck or suffering from low confidence or self-esteem. You might be struggling with your sexuality or gender identity.

Perhaps you are feeling dissatisfied with your relationships with friends, partners or work colleagues. Or maybe you’d like to work through something specific that has happened.

Therapy can’t ‘fix’ us, or erase our past, but it can help us move forwards and make positive changes in our lives.

I work with individual adults, generally in-person on an open-ended basis or for a minimum of 12 weeks. I also offer online sessions.

My therapeutic work is also influenced by my own experience and process in therapy.

About Me

Alongside my private practice, I have experience of working for the NHS and services supporting the LGBTQ+ community. I have helped people struggling with a range of issues including anxiety, depression, identity and relationship problems.

I have particular experience and interest in supporting members of the LGBTQ+ community. I offer an affirmative space where you can freely explore your sexuality, gender identity and relationships. I work in a sex positive, kink-aware and poly-aware way.

I also have experience working with men. Anyone can struggle with their mental health, but research suggests that some men struggle to ask for help. The reasons for this are complex. Society’s expectations and traditional ideas about masculinity, such as ‘boys don’t cry’, play a part in preventing some men from talking about their feelings and getting help.

Therapy provides men with a non-judgmental space to share what is troubling them. I have experience working with men to help them begin to open up and be heard.

I have a Master's Degree in Integrative Psychotherapy (accredited by Middlesex University), and an Advanced Post Graduate Diploma in Integrative Counselling from the Minster Centre. I am a fully supervised accredited member of UKCP and abide by their code of professional ethics.

Before training as a therapist, I worked for a number of media companies in events, journalism and publishing, so I understand the stresses and pressures of creative and commercial industries.

Alongside my therapy training, for five years, I worked for Mind, researching and writing about mental health, ensuring that the information was shaped together with people with lived experience.

I am always learning and in Spring 2025, I will undertake further training in psychosexual therapy.
