My Approach

My approach is integrative, which means it combines elements from several therapeutic models: psychodynamic, humanistic, existential and body-based. The way I work is also informed by contemporary ideas in attachment theory and the relational school of psychoanalysis.

I see clients weekly or, where appropriate, twice weekly, but do not currently offer fortnightly slots.

All current slots are daytime, Monday to Wednesday. Thursdays coming soon.

I currently charge a flat rate of £70 per 50 minute session.

About Me

I support my clients to learn about themselves, to make meaning from difficult experiences and to develop new ways of being that serve them in their present lives. I am frequently struck by my clients' courage in facing themselves and their experiences, and consider it a privilege to be with them as they do so. Simply acknowledging a need for help can often be enormously difficult.

I recognise that all sorts of things may bring people to therapy. Sometimes it’s a life event or transition that feels overwhelming. Sometimes it’s because we find ourselves struggling in relationships, or troubled by our thoughts, feelings or behaviour. Sometimes we are having to cope with an environment that devalues or rejects an aspect of our identity, or we just feel deep down that our lives could be lived more fully. In many cases, we arrive in therapy already knowing what we want help with; in others, this is what we come to find out. Whatever you are struggling with, I invite you to get in touch.

Having provided counselling for several years at a college of music and dance, I have particular experience working with younger adults, students (domestic and international), singers, musicians, composers, dancers, choreographers and actors.

During my early training, I worked as a volunteer befriender at Maytree Respite Centre for people in suicidal crisis.

I have pursued additional training on men’s issues in psychotherapy and on working with distress related to the climate crisis.
