I am passionate about supporting and helping people with their relationships. When we hear the word relationship, we often think of our personal and intimate relationships with partners, children, parents, siblings, and friends. However, we also have a relationship with so many other things, such as food, alcohol, exercise, mental health, and ourselves. In fact, our relationship with ourselves is the foundation of all our other relationships. How we relate to ourselves affects how we relate to others.
We are hard-wired to connect and be in relationships with others; it's survival. However, sometimes our relationships can be challenging, complicated, or harmful. This can lead us to seek comfort or escape in other “things” that may not be healthy or helpful for us. My role is to help you enhance your relationships, whether they are with people, with “things”, or with yourself.
“Improving your relationship with yourself will automatically improve your other relationships”.
Together we can get curious about patterns that show up in your family. By family I mean the family that you grew up in, the family that your parents grew up in and the family you have now. I am particularly interested in patterns that are present during times of stress. These are known as trans-generational processes. These unspoken, un-noticed patterns are often the root cause of challenges within our relationships.
I began my therapeutic career in 2006 when I qualified as a Person Centred Therapist. Over the years, I have had the honour of sitting with children, young people, and adults to help them understand and process their experiences and emotions. I have also undergone further training to enable me to offer the best support to others and ensuring that my knowledge and skill set are up to date. Alongside my private practice, I also work for the NHS as a Systemic Family Therapist. My work history has been embedded within the counselling and mental health field, and my scope of experience within this field ranges from being the Service Manager for an Emotional Wellbeing Service for young people to managing the counselling and well-being services for Mind in Wellingborough.

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.
