My Approach

Lets face it, attending therapy can be hard work. Sometimes, people need more guidance than others. Whether you are struggling to know what to say, or struggling to know what to filter out, I will guide you by asking questions and gently enquiring into your experience. Therapy is about making sense of our internal worlds, so that we can be more self aware and develop meaningful connections to our external worlds.

Therapy is set at your pace, working on the areas you choose to focus on. It is a commitment, a commitment to future you, who knows that you can learn to feel and live in a healthier way. My approach encourages you to embrace your feelings, unpack you thoughts and learn to listen to the wisdom of your body,

What to expect in our first session:

Our first interaction, usually will be a brief telephone call. This call is to see if we are a good match. I will answer any questions you may have, and I will tell you a little bit about how I work. This will not be a therapy session, it's an opportunity to see if we could develop an effective working relationship. I appreciate the anxiety you may have, especially if you are new to therapy. If after this free 15 minute phone consultation you wish to continue, we would book a time and date for our first session.

The first session is an opportunity for us to determine what you would like to get out of therapy, so setting some goals can be useful. This is an assessment session, so I would ask more questions initially to determine our focus and establish what we are working towards.

About Me

I see you. I see your sense of justice, your creative energy, and connection to the world. Despite your strengths and success, you feel like you don’t belong. Have you noticed that you struggle to ask for help? Or are plagued by a deep sense that there is something wrong with you? Does this sense of not belonging, cause you to search for that in a label? You may notice that you are very hard on yourself, perhaps that's what brought you here. Our work is to heal the disconnection from self, to build resilience and develop strength from the challenges you face.


I work well with nomads, immigrants, ex pats and ADHDers, as I have lived experience of this. Through our work, you will learn to work with, not against your emotions. I’ll support you to develop your own inner therapist, so you won’t need me forever! We will do this through focusing internally. I use techniques to help you release energetic pains from the past, using your own creative wisdom.


You may want to work with me because I have walked this path many times, and understand it deeply. If that aligns with you, please message me to book a session, or it can be booked directly on my website. All our sessions would be online. When you reach out, I will contact you directly within 48 hours to confirm our call.

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.

Are you tiring yourself out with all this searching? What if searching for your ‘problem’ is part of whats holding you back? What if your anxiety could be your superpower? It’s our human instinct to strive to be better and to find meaning and purpose in our lives. You can have that.he pace down and start using it as a resource.Living in this cycle of anxiety is tiring, the reassurance seeking and avoidance can be really consuming.
The dynamics we create with our loved ones can be sources of love, connection and intimacy. When we feel these needs are not being met it can feel lonely and confusing, this can lead to a lot of hurt. Together, we can understand who you are in relationship so that you can gain deeper understanding, feel less anxious and connect emotionally with those close to you.
It is important for you to know that what you’re experiencing is not your fault, nor does it need to be your life sentence. A fulfilling life after trauma can be possible, even thought it might seem like you’ve been living this way forever. There is nothing “broken” in you that can’t be healed. Through somatic therapy like IFS and EMDR you can begin to understand how to stay present and tolerate your symptoms. You can learn about your body’s physiological response to perceived danger and how to ride those waves. As a trauma informed therapist, I will help you achieve a sense of safety. You can rebuild your life and finally experience the peace you deserve.
