My Approach

My work is grounded in a systemic approach, recognising that our experiences are shaped by the relationships we have with ourselves, with others and within the wider systems in which we live. Alongside systemic psychotherapy, I draw on person-centred, narrative, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), solution-focused and coaching approaches, tailoring therapy to each person’s individual needs.

Together, we explore patterns, relationships and strengths to develop greater understanding, build resilience and support meaningful, lasting change.

About Me

I have more than 20 years’ experience supporting people with a wide range of emotional and psychological difficulties in both healthcare and private practice. Alongside my work as a UKCP-accredited Systemic Psychotherapist and BACP Accredited Psychotherapist, I provide clinical supervision and consultation within organisations.

My professional background includes many years working within specialist hospice and palliative care services, supporting people living with serious illness, their families and carers, and those who are bereaved. Today my practice encompasses a broad range of issues, with particular interests in relationships, neurodiversity, life transitions and the ways in which our relationships shape emotional wellbeing.

  • Individuals
  • 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.

Alongside my broader systemic practice, I have extensive experience of supporting people living with serious illness, those caring for loved ones, and individuals who are bereaved. Having worked for many years within specialist palliative and hospice care, I understand the emotional, relational and practical challenges that can accompany life-limiting illness, anticipatory grief and loss. Serious illness often affects not only physical health but also relationships, identity and future hopes. Therapy provides a compassionate and confidential space to explore these experiences, helping people make sense of the changes they face, strengthen relationships where possible, and find ways of moving forward while honouring what has been lost.
Working systemically online has become an established part of my practice, and I have many years’ experience of supporting people remotely. Online therapy offers a flexible and accessible way of working without compromising the quality of the therapeutic relationship. I have found that meeting people within their own environments can often enrich systemic conversations, providing valuable insights into everyday life, relationships and the wider systems in which people live. Working online allows therapy to fit more easily around everyday life while still providing a safe, collaborative and engaging space for reflection and meaningful change.
Relationships are central to our emotional wellbeing, yet they can also be one of the greatest sources of distress. Difficulties with partners, family members, adult children, parents, friends or colleagues can leave us feeling confused, hurt, isolated or stuck. Using a systemic approach, I help people understand the patterns, beliefs and experiences that influence the way they relate to others. Together we can explore communication, conflict, boundaries, attachment and life transitions, helping you develop healthier, more fulfilling relationships and a deeper understanding of yourself.
