About me
Taking the courageous step to seek therapy is the starting point for profound positive growth. If you are constantly battling an anxious attachment style, you know how exhausting it can be. It means feeling hyper-vigilant to tiny shifts in your partner's mood, constantly craving reassurance, or getting trapped in repetitive relationship loops that leave you both drained.
When you are stuck in these painful cycles, you might find yourselves falling into the same arguments week after week, leaving one partner feeling completely hijacked by anxiety or anger, while the other steps back or walks on eggshells.
As a qualified psychotherapist with 16 years of experience, specialising as an Attachment Psychotherapist, I provide a warm, calm, and completely judgment-free space online across the UK where you can finally let your guard down. I strive to create a consistent and reliable schedule so you can plan your sessions with absolute confidence.
I have always viewed therapy as a deeply transformative journey, a shared path where my role is never to dictate or provide simplistic answers. Instead, we will work collaboratively as a team, navigating the twists and turns together, to create the necessary conditions for you to discover your own unique inner wisdom and find your way forward.
Relationship Attachment Therapy
Relationships thrive when both partners feel securely attached, but early experiences shape our unconscious blueprints that dictate how we react to love and conflict today. When these blueprints clash, partners often get caught in a reactive loop where one person chases and the other withdraws. I work with all couples feeling disconnected, stuck in loops, or recovering from relationship distress.
Together, we explore how you originally learnt to attach, creating a safe space to understand what wasn't there in the past, allowing you to gently mourn those missing pieces and unmet needs together.
Training, qualifications & experience
As a BACP Accredited Psychotherapist with 16 years of experience specialising as an Attachment Psychotherapist, my practice has been rigorously assessed to meet the highest standards of professional excellence and ethical safety. What this means for you is that you are partnering with an experienced specialist who provides a highly regulated, safe, and deeply trusted framework for your recovery.
My training is entirely focused on helping individuals and couples break free from exhausting relationship loops. I do not believe in a one-size-fits-all approach or giving simplistic answers; instead, I use a blend of highly specialised, evidence-based therapies tailored to how your mind and nervous system react to conflict, love, and stress.
Here is how my core training translates into our work together:
Attachment Theory & Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT): Early experiences shape our unconscious "blueprints" for how we handle relationships today. I use my training in Attachment and EFT to help you and your partner map out the exact reactive loops, like the painful "chase-and-withdraw" cycle, that leave you both feeling drained, anxious, or misunderstood. Together, we work to build a secure, steady, and reliable foundation.
Transactional Analysis (TA) & Relational Therapy: Using TA, we look closely at your internal narrative and the "inner voice" driving your behaviour. This helps you quieten intense self-criticism, understand why you might feel hyper-vigilant to a partner's mood, and pieces together your early blueprints so you can consciously rewrite your relationship patterns.
Integrative Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) & Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT): I hold a dedicated clinical focus for individuals and couples navigating PMDD. When a neurobiological storm hits, general talk therapy is not enough. I use DBT and CBT training to provide concrete, cycle-mapped anchors. During your luteal phase, we focus entirely on practical distress tolerance and affect regulation to hold you safe until the storm passes.
Ultimately, my qualifications mean that you are collaborating with a deeply experienced practitioner who understands the root causes of your pain. We will work as a team to move you from feeling powerless against repetitive cycles to holding a steady, confident strategy for your life and relationships.
Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.

Support for PMDD
If you are navigating the monthly emotional storms of Pre-Menstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD), you know how exhausting and debilitating it can be. This neurobiological condition often intensely magnifies attachment anxieties, leaving you feeling completely powerless against severe mood swings, irritability, or deep anxiety during the luteal phase of your cycle. It can feel as though a monthly storm hijacks your emotional well-being, your relationships, and your daily functioning.
In my practice, we do not just talk about the symptoms; we actively collaborate to build a steady management strategy using a two-phase approach timed to match your cycle:
In your Luteal Phase (Affect Regulation): We focus entirely on practical, concrete coping skills drawing from DBT and CBT. This gives you immediate distress tolerance and mindfulness anchors to keep your nervous system safe until the monthly storm passes.
In your "Good Weeks" (Deep Healing): Once the storm clears, we use Attachment Theory to heal the painful aftermath of shame, self-criticism, and relationship distress. Together, we work to quieten internal attacks, build psychological mindfulness, and rewrite your narrative.
Whether you are seeking individual support or want to work together with your partner to stop PMDD from damaging your connection, my aim is to provide a warm, deeply informed space. You will learn to break free from these exhausting monthly traps, establish a secure base, and ultimately regain a sense of calm, stability, and control over your life.
