My Approach

I work collaboratively with people of all ages and from all walks of life who happen to find themselves struggling, or perhaps just feel lost or stuck. I offer compassionate, confidential therapeutic support for clients with a broad range of issues – from bereavement and loss to big life changes or relationship difficulties. As an integrative therapist, my approach is informed by a number of different psychological theories, however I am naturally drawn to working holistically, helping clients understand how their past experiences influence current relationships and shape present day choices and assumptions. I endeavour to help clients untangle those threads that hold them back and explore more positive ways of understanding the world and create a life in which they can flourish. My ethos is informed by the psychology of Carl Jung and I particularly value working with dreams and unconscious processes.

About Me

My style is warm, relational, supportive and direct. I work principally with adult clients however I also hold a post-qualification diploma (L7) in working with children and young people aged 5–18. Before training as a therapist, I worked as a magazine journalist for many years, and also in the art world. I have a strong interest in working creatively and with the imagination. I am currently part-way through my training in Jungian Analytical Psychology with the Independent Group of Analytic Psychologists (IGAP).

  • Private healthcare referrals

Special Interests

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.

I have a particular interest – as well as personal lived experience – in issues and challenges around neurodiversity.
Bereavement, loss and change affect us all at some point in our lives, yet our Western society is often ill-equipped to offer adequate support. I work with clients to explore and share their own unique experiences and gently forge new and meaningful relationships with themselves as well as that which has been lost.
