About me
Counselling Psychologist, EMDR Therapist & Supervisor
I'm an experienced psychologist and psychotherapist with over 12 years of experience working in both NHS and private sector services. My extensive training spans humanistic, psychodynamic, trauma-focused, and cognitive-behavioural approaches, which means I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach to therapy. Instead, I tailor our work to suit you, your experiences, your challenges, and what you want from life.
I work with adults facing a range of difficulties from those experiencing situation-specific stressors to those struggling with long-standing psychiatric conditions. Often, the challenges we experience in the present have deeper roots in our past. Therapy offers a chance to uncover these patterns, understand them, and create lasting change.
Above all, I see therapy as a collaborative process. It’s a space where we can think together about what’s going on in your life right now while also making room to explore what’s underneath. My approach is grounded in curiosity and compassion, helping you navigate the unknowns, fears, or sadness that may arise along the way.
Wherever you are in your journey, I’d be happy to explore how we can work together.

Expertise
I work primarily with adults across all phases of the life span. I have significant experience working with people struggling with the below areas:
- Anxiety & Panic
- Depression
- Adverse Childhood Experiences & Childhood Trauma
- Adulthood Trauma
- PTSD & C-PTSD
- Dissociation & DID
- Relationship Difficulties
- Divorce and Separation
- BPD & EUPD
- Bipolar & Major Mood Disorders
I specialise in working with adults who have experienced a wide range of traumas from early childhood onwards. This often involves working with people who have received a number of different diagnoses such as BPD, EUPD and DID alongside mood disorders such as MDD and Bipolar disorder. I have a special interest in working with those who experience dissociation - whether or not the origins of this experience are known.
As such, my work offers the pace, depth and expertise necessary to meet individuals in an often confusing and overwhelming place in their lives.
