About me

I believe that therapy is grounded first and foremost in the relationship between therapist and patient. As such, I look to offer patients a safe, confidential, non-judgemental space to explore their distress, both in the present and within the context of their past. By doing so, an opportunity is provided to change and discover new, more authentic, ways of living.

Training, qualifications & experience

I am a UKCP-accredited clinical psychotherapist. Trained at the Metanoia Institute, my approach to psychotherapy is integrative, but grounded in the psychoanalytic tradition. I have experience working with a range of presentations, age groups and demographics in both the NHS and private practice. Originally from Cornwall, I moved to Loughborough for my University studies, and have now settled in the area
