I’m a UKCP-accredited and BACP-registered psychotherapist offering a depth-oriented, integrative approach to counselling and psychotherapy. My work is relational, experiential, and trauma-informed, with careful attention to how emotional patterns and ways of coping are shaped through lived experience and carried in the body.
I work with people navigating anxiety, low mood, trauma, neurodivergence, relationship difficulties, and questions of identity, meaning, and belonging. Much of my practice is with people shaped by developmental trauma, LGBTQ+ experience, difference, or marginalisation, where distress often reflects understandable responses to relational, social, and systemic contexts rather than something being "wrong" with the person.
I also support those living with grief, climate anxiety, burnout, and the emotional impact of wider global and cultural pressures, as well as people integrating spiritually significant or non-ordinary experiences. Whatever brings you, my intention is to offer a steady and compassionate space where the full complexity of your experience can be met with care, at a pace that allows understanding and integration to unfold over time.
Therapy isn’t a one-size-fits-all process. It’s a deeply personal and relational one, shaped by your history, your inner world, and the meanings you’ve had to make along the way.
At the heart of the work is a genuine, collaborative therapeutic relationship, built on trust, emotional contact, and careful pacing. My role is to offer an attuned and compassionate space where we can explore the patterns, emotions, and ways of relating that have developed in response to real experiences.
Many of the difficulties people bring to therapy reflect strategies that once helped them cope, stay safe, and preserve connection with others. Anxiety, low mood, relational struggles, a sense of disconnection, or feeling stuck are not random or meaningless. They are shaped by emotional learnings, often formed in relationship, that continue to organise experience beneath our awareness.
Rather than trying to fix or override these patterns, we slow things down and listen to what they’re organised around. From within the safety of the therapeutic relationship, new experiences can gradually emerge that allow what’s no longer needed to soften and shift, making space for a more integrated and alive way of being.
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.
