My Approach

As an integrative therapist, I draw on a variety of theories, models and creative techniques to support my clients effectively and to meet the specific needs of the individual or couple. My core models are Transactional Analysis, Person-Centred Therapy, Neuroscience linked to Attachment Theory and the Developmental Model for Couples. I provide a safe place to listen empathically without judgement and support clients to feel empowered to make positive changes to move forward.

About Me

I am a Humanistic Integrative Psychotherapist and Psychotherapeutic Counsellor, with experience of working with clients dealing with a wide range of issues including anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, grief and loss, low self-esteem, infertility, work-related issues, anger and relationships. In addition, I also have a specialism in working with clients who struggle to manage a work/life balance due to working in high-pressure environments, such as the education sector and emergency services. For many clients, the common mind-set of ‘you just have to get on with it’ is unhelpful, as it doesn’t allow them to express or challenge their own thoughts, feelings and behaviours. Working with me allows them to do just that.

I also work with couples to provide both long term and brief intervention therapy, which focuses on helping all couples to develop more effective ways of problem-solving and interacting with one another to avoid repeating negative patterns of behaviour. Couples will learn new skills in how to communicate better and deepen understanding of the dynamics in their relationship to facilitate change and growth both individually and as a couple. Couples therapy can be for any stage in a relationship; there doesn't need to be a crisis to seek help. 

I believe in the importance of developing a strong, collaborative relationship with each client, so that I can tailor services to best meet the needs of the individual or couple. Life is stressful enough; finding a supportive therapist shouldn’t be!
