My Approach

Beyond talking therapy, I also offer creative ways to explore emotions, such as sand tray therapy, miniatures, metaphors, drawing, and diagrams— offering clients expressive, non-verbal ways to explore their experiences

About Me

I am a Humanistic Integrative Psychotherapist. I am deeply relational in the way I work, where I place importance on building a strong and trusting relationship with my clients. I tailor the therapy to your way of thinking, feeling, and communicating, ensuring a supportive, non-judgemental and inclusive experience is formed that enables the healing and change that is being sought. My approach to therapy is rooted in compassion, with a genuine commitment to meeting you where you are.

My clinical practice is trauma-informed, that focuses on the whole person and what happened to you. I have extensive experience in working with PTSD, medical trauma, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, stress/burnout, relational conflicts and life transitions. It's also been a pleasure to support and work alongside many trainee therapists on their journey toward qualification.

  • Companies
  • 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.

I have a deep and enduring interest in working with relational dynamics, particularly where early developmental trauma is present. I’m drawn to the nuanced, often hidden layers of experience that shape how individuals relate to themselves and others. In my work, I aim to offer a safe, attuned therapeutic relationship, one that gently supports clients in exploring their inner world, By navigating the push-pull of connection and distance, and ultimately fostering deeper, more authentic relationships both within and beyond the therapy space.
