My Approach

I’m an integrative psychotherapist which means I draw from a range of therapeutic approaches. I bring these together under a relational framework. This approach means I can adapt the work to your needs. I take into account recent developments in contemporary psychotherapy and evidence-based research to ensure my approach stays up to date. This has enabled me to work with clients on a wide range of issues from common mental health problems to more complex conditions.

I see therapy as a collaboration, I am alongside you as you go on this voyage of discovery. My compassion, warmth and acceptance helps clients who are not used to opening up in front of another to share their inner world. I provide a judgment-free environment where you get to learn more about who you are and who you can become.

About Me

I spent five years training in psychotherapy and continue to update my knowledge and skills with short courses. I have experience of working in an NHS talking therapy service, a university wellbeing team and a counselling service for the LGBTQ+ community.

My unique background means I often work with clients who are from the global majority or identify as sexually and gender diverse. I have worked with clients on specific themes diversity can bring up: relationship issues, complex trauma, discrimination, identity and cultural conflict.

My past career, before I retrained as a psychotherapist, was in the music industry. I had a 20-year career as a successful award-winning, music publicist. First at a major record label and then as the founder of a PR agency. This experience means I can combine my experience in the music and entertainment industries with my mental health background to work effectively with clients in this field and other competitive and pressurised industries. I can help with challenges such as imposter syndrome, comparison, low self-esteem, stress and burnout.

As well as my private practice I am the clinical lead of a mental health service at a major UK record label working with musicians.
