In the busy-ness of the modern world, psychotherapy offers the chance to bring about meaningful change in our lives. It is rare to have a confidential space – away from our lives, families, and work – to explore difficult feelings and experiences. Therapy gives permission for us to talk about whatever we need to. It can also allow reconnection to hope, humour and passion. I offer therapy as a space to explore where you are at – what it is bringing you now and the change you are hoping for.
As an integrative psychotherapist I believe that human beings strive to be well and that the relationship between client and therapist can be a key source for change, self-acceptance and healing. Early relationships are significant because they influence our subsequent expectations for, and ways of being in, relationships with others.
I offer short- and long-term therapy face-to-face and/or online via Zoom. I am also trained in work with the arts (art, clay, movement, music, poetry, puppetry, sand tray as well as dreams and metaphor), so this can be part of our work together if this is of interest to you. Feel free to call or email me to explore working together and if you have any concerns or questions.
Areas I work with:
-Anger management & conflict
-Anxiety, stress & feeling overwhelmed

In addition to my private practice, I am a faculty member at the Institute for Arts and Therapy in Education (IATE), working as an examiner, tutor and reflective group practice facilitator as well as teaching sessions on power, intersectionality, dance/movement and the transition from student to becoming a therapist. I also teach a 12-week gender, sex and sexuality module at HOMA Therapy Centre.
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.
