My Approach

I offer a compassionate, safe space where you are the sole focus and you set the pace. I trained for 6 years to become a psychotherapist and have experience in both the NHS and private practice. My core psychotherapy training is in psychodrama psychodrama which is an integrative, embodied approach to psychotherapy. This means that as well as sitting and listening to you, at appropriate moments I might offer more embodied or creative ways to explore your world and create shifts, as well. These might include:

- Showing me some key events in your life so far by placing objects on the floor in a timeline and talking about them.
- Using a pen and paper to map out your family tree and convey how you experience dynamics between various family members.
- Describing some of the roles you hold in your life, significant people in your life, and experimenting by ‘holding’ any of these other roles to see if a new perspective emerges. This technique is called ‘role reversal’ and is gently introduced in the sessions, when helpful.
Alongside my core psychotherapy training, I infuse my work with what I’ve learned from the traditions of mindfulness meditation and my interest in the mind–body connection.

About Me

I work with you to create the change you want. I welcome people from diverse backgrounds into my therapy room and I believe that my role - first and foremost - is to listen carefully to you and establish a safe connection. From there, we journey together into exploring your world, finding areas where you might be feeling stuck or in pain and working therapeutically with these areas so that you can find more ease in life. When we know ourselves more intimately, we can move forwards with more self-assurance.

Choosing the right therapist for you is so important, that's why I offer a low cost initial assessment for us to meet in person and for you to experience what working with me might feel like. You can 'assess' whether I'm the right therapist for you. And, after careful listening, I can offer some thoughts around how I feel I might be able to help you.
