I work relationally within an integrative framework, tailoring my approach to each client. I incorporate aspects of psychodynamic, humanistic, and existential therapy. I combine this with elements of neuroscience and the evidence-based relationship between brain and body.
I believe that the past is alive in the present, influencing and steering our present-day experiences. I also believe that our earliest relationships can have a major impact on our life trajectory and our degree of daily struggle. This can be held in the body, governing our sense of connection and our capacity to feel satisfied, and safe. It can also influence how we navigate universal human concerns, such as death, purpose, and meaning.
I consider therapy to be a process of repair and reconnection. This can feel painful at times, and requires a good therapeutic relationship, with a deep sense of trust.

Thank you for visiting my profile page. I am an experienced psychotherapist and I provide a safe, compassionate environment for you to bring any issues affecting your well-being.
We work collaboratively towards your goals for therapy, whilst remaining open to what occurs in the context of the client-therapist relationship. Together, we can explore difficult feelings and experiences, and identify potential blocks to living a fuller life.
Common themes that emerge include unmet needs or early trauma, and the impact of this on present-day experiences, as well as more immediate issues related to day-to-day life and functioning.
My private practice is based in Crowthorne and online.
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.
