About me
I'm an experienced psychotherapist working with couples and individuals who are navigating relational challenges, emotional difficulties, and the patterns that keep them stuck.
The quality of our relationships profoundly shapes our quality of life - affecting our mental health, physical wellbeing, and sense of ourselves. I work with the understanding that past experiences, particularly from our earliest relationships, continue to influence how we connect with others and make sense of our world today.
In our work together, we'll explore the unconscious dynamics, emotional triggers, and unmet needs that shape your relationships and inner life. Whether you're facing a crisis, caught in repeating patterns, seeking deeper connection, or simply feeling overwhelmed, I offer a confidential, non-judgmental space where you can feel heard, understood, and supported.
For Couples: I specialise in relationship difficulties including affairs and trust issues, communication breakdowns, jealousy, parenting challenges, loss of intimacy, and unresolved conflict. My goal is to create a safe therapeutic space where both partners feel empowered to understand not just what happens between you, but why.
For Individuals: Whether you're struggling with a specific concern or a feeling you can't quite name, therapy provides a place to make sense of your experience and find your way forward.
Training, qualifications & experience
I trained at the internationally renowned Tavistock Relationships, earning a BACP-accredited clinical qualification in Couple and Individual Psychodynamic Counselling and Psychotherapy. I am a member of the BACP and the Tavistock Relationships Association for Psychotherapists and Counsellors (TRAPC), and I adhere to their professional codes and ethical guidelines.
My work is collaborative and rooted in the belief that past experiences shape how we think, feel, and relate in the present and that by understanding these patterns, meaningful change becomes possible.
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.

Further information
I work with couples and individuals using an integrative approach that draws from contemporary psychodynamic theory, emotionally focused therapy, and attachment-based practices. Our relationships - with partners, with ourselves, and with our past - are shaped by deeper emotional patterns and stories that often operate outside our conscious awareness. My work is about bringing these patterns into the light so they can shift.
At the heart of psychodynamic therapy is the understanding that unconscious parts of ourselves - often shaped by early experiences - continue to influence our present relationships and emotional life in ways we don't always recognise. By bringing these hidden patterns into awareness, they can begin to change, often bringing significant relief and new possibilities for how we relate and feel.
