About me
Therapy in Totality:
I work with adults who struggle with anxiety, low self-esteem, shame, a strong Inner-critic, perfectionism and difficult relationship patterns, often rooted in early experiences or past relationships.
Do any of these feel familiar?
- You can’t stop criticising yourself or pushing for perfection.
- You crave closeness but find yourself pulling away.
- Your past, childhood, family, or old relationships still shape how you feel now.
- You’ve been told you’re “too much” and “not enough” at the same time.
- You feel disconnected from who you are, especially in relationships or while adjusting to life abroad.
- You find it hard to trust yourself and struggle with confidence.
If so, you’re not alone.
Every part of you is welcome here: the part that wants to stay in control, the one that feels small or unseen, the part longing for closeness, and the part that’s scared of it. The parts that want to disappear, and the parts that want to take up more space.
This is a space to meet yourself more fully. We go at your pace. Nothing is forced. We slow down, get curious, untangle what’s underneath, and create room for what feels real. Whether you know exactly what you want to work on, or it feels harder to name, both are welcome.
Through this work, people often notice long lasting shifts - not quick, short lived fixes - but meaningful change.
What therapy with me can help you move towards:
- Greater clarity about how early experiences and past relationships shaped your beliefs about yourself
- A quieter inner critic, softer self-blame, and more self-compassion
- Reduced shame and self-judgement, including around sexuality or body image
- Improved ability to set boundaries and build healthier, more grounded relationships
- More ease with intimacy, authenticity, and expressing your needs
- A calmer, steadier inner world with less overwhelm
- Increased confidence, self-trust, self-awareness and connection to who you are and to those around you
Training, qualifications & experience
I’m an integrative, relational, trauma-informed therapist. That means I work with the whole of you: your thoughts, feelings, body, and the protective parts that have helped you cope. I don’t see you as a problem to be solved; I see a whole person whose history, nervous system, and inner world all make sense in context.
No single approach fits everyone, so I weave together existential, psychodynamic, person-centred, parts work, experiential, and trauma-informed perspectives. This lets us work on multiple levels, emotional, psychological, and somatic, and explore the parts of you that have learned to protect, adapt, or hide.
Being relational means I meet you human-to-human. I bring my experience, but you are the expert in your own life. Together, we notice patterns, reactions, and the ways your past still shows up today, using our work together as a safe, steady space to explore what feels hard or hidden.
Other areas I work with:
- I work with and support those affected by sexual trauma or childhood sexual abuse (CSA), whether you’re naming it for the first time or have carried it for years.
- Shame can show up in very personal areas of life; around sexuality, intimacy, or how you feel in your body. These experiences can feel difficult to talk about, especially if you’ve learned to hide them or they’re linked to painful memories.
- I also support expats and migrants navigating the challenges of adjusting to life abroad, identity shifts, and the feelings of disconnection or isolation that can come with living in a new place.
- I support individuals navigating Relationship & Intimacy Challenges, whether with partners, family, or themselves. This can include communication struggles, intimacy fears, repeated patterns, or challenges around connection and trust. Together, we explore what’s getting in the way of feeling safe, seen, and understood in your relationships.
- ADHD, Family Issues, Anxiety and Depression
I hold a Masters Degree in Psychotherapy exploring the impact of core shame on emotional wellbeing and relationships, I have a Postgraduate Diploma in Integrative Psychotherapy, a Postgraduate Certificate in Person-Centred Counselling, training in Expressive-arts Therapy.
Member organisations
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.

Working with adults (18+)
Evening availability
Fees: £65 per 50-minute session · Limited concessions available
Sessions are 50 minutes and usually take place weekly, though we can discuss fortnightly or flexible arrangements where helpful.
You’re welcome to book a first session directly on my website https://www.therapyintotality.com/firstsession
The first session is a gentle space to get to know each other. You can share what’s been bringing you to therapy, whether that’s something specific, a recurring pattern, or a sense that things could feel different. There’s no expectation to tell your whole story, and we’ll go at a pace that feels safe for you.
The first full session is offered at 50% of my usual fee, giving you space to explore whether this feels like the right therapeutic relationship, without added pressure. There’s no obligation to continue afterwards.
If you’d prefer to speak briefly before booking, I can also offer a short introductory call.
