As an Integrative psychotherapist, I believe we all hold the power to heal ourselves but sometimes need a little help along the way. Starting psychotherapy or counselling can be a daunting prospect, but many find it to be a powerful, transformative experience. My approach is tailored towards each individual client's needs. I believe clients are the experts in their own lives and draw on both traditional and modern techniques to ensure we bring long-lasting changes to every aspect of your wellbeing – mental, physical, emotional, relational. My way of working helps clients explore their patterns of relating to others and understand how these affect their own sense of self. Early attachments with our caregivers are critical to how we perceive our surroundings. A strong therapeutic relationship where you feel heard and understood can become a creative blueprint for change.Whether you are struggling under the weight of your past, find yourself at a critical juncture of life or feel your emotions are overwhelming, I offer a supportive and non-judgmental space where I help you reflect and work through the difficulties in your life.
People's stories have been a lifelong passion for me. Before training as a psychotherapist, I worked as a producer in film and television, spending much of my time supporting screenwriters through the development process. I realised how vital our narratives are to the way we construct meaning and identity, but also how we get lost in our own stories. As a therapist, I see how frequently clients feel trapped by a rigid narrative or identity they have outgrown. I work with them collaboratively to let go of unhelpful stories and return them to their moment-to-moment felt experience leading to more nuanced understanding and meaning in their lives. Many of my clients over the years have been writers, actors, directors and musicians wrestling with their personal or professional identities. I also have a keen interest in systemic and psychosexual therapy, with extensive experience working with trauma, loss, relationship difficulties and issues related to male fertility and sex.
Like all UKCP registered psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors I can work with a wide range of issues, but here are some areas in which I have a special interest or additional experience.
