My Approach

Rooted in Transactional Analysis, my practice is co-creative, relational, and gently challenging. I believe insight alone isn’t enough—we need emotional safety, attuned connection, and actionable steps for real change.

I draw on:

Ego state work and life script analysis

Redecision and relational TA

Embodied and creative techniques

Organisational and leadership psychology

A trauma-informed, intersectional lens

Therapy is a collaborative process—we go at your pace, following the threads that matter most. Sometimes we laugh. Sometimes we cry. Always, we stay curious.

About Me

I am an experienced Psychotherapist and Coach, committed to supporting individuals, couples, and groups in developing resilience, self-awareness, and emotional well-being. With a five-year background in counselling, coaching, and psychotherapy in private practice and placements and 15 years of experience in organisational psychology, leadership training, coaching, and digital learning transformation, I offer a unique blend of therapeutic and professional expertise.
Using a relational and co-creative Treansactional Analysis approach, I help clients address anxiety, emotional dysregulation, relationship difficulties, and low self-esteem. My experience working with global organisations to design accessible learning solutions and foster professional development allows me to tailor support to diverse cultural and social contexts.
I integrate evidence-based techniques with practical strategies to empower clients, fostering autonomy, sustainable change, and personal and professional growth.

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.

Cross-Cultural Identity & Belonging I work with clients navigating multiple cultural identities, migration, or life across borders. Therapy offers a space to process belonging, difference, and the complex experience of “home.”
Depression & Disconnection Depression often shows up as disconnection—from yourself, others, and meaning. Through a relational TA approach, we explore the roots of low mood and emotional numbness, helping you move toward reconnection and vitality.
Identity & Self-Esteem Many clients come to therapy unsure of who they are or struggling with low self-worth. Together, we unpack internalised beliefs, past roles, and shame-based narratives to help you reconnect with a more authentic, compassionate sense of self.
Relationships & Attachment I support clients in exploring how they relate to others—romantically, socially, or at work. We look at patterns shaped by early attachment and life experiences, helping you build more secure, fulfilling connections.
Burnout & Work-Related Stress Drawing on my background in organisational psychology, I work with professionals facing overwhelm, imposter syndrome, and role fatigue. Therapy offers a space to reflect, recalibrate, and move forward with clarity.
