My Approach

My approach is compassionate, culturally competent, and rooted in a deep understanding of the social and environmental factors influencing mental health. I am experienced in risk management and evidence-based frameworks to enhance care outcomes for individuals and families. I use an eclectic integrative, evidence-based approach that prioritises collaboration, non-oppressive methods, and client safety.

About Me

With 18 years of diverse experience in clinical, therapeutic, and leadership roles across inpatient, crisis, community, and psychiatric intensive care settings, I have worked with individuals, children, young people, couples, and families facing various mental health and neurodivergent challenges.
As an AFT-accredited and UKCP-registered Systemic & Family Psychotherapist and NMC registered Mental Health Nurse, I adhere to these professional regulatory bodies’ ethical standards.
I am committed to promoting mental health well-being, social justice, and anti-stigma initiatives through high-quality, intersectional care. With significant leadership experience managing multidisciplinary teams, complex caseloads, and service delivery, I have contributed to improving parity of esteem for mental and physical health, embedding this within organisational culture and practice.

I offer individual, couples and family therapy, professional development coaching, and systemic consultations, working with diverse clients across independent, private and organisational health/social care sectors.

Whether you're seeking long-term therapy, family intervention, or mental health consultancy, I am dedicated to supporting you in building resilient, supportive networks and improving your mental health and well-being.
