About me
I offer a warm, reflective therapeutic space for people who may feel stuck, overwhelmed, disconnected, or caught in repeating patterns in relationships. My work is attentive to culture, identity and wider social context. As an attachment-based psychoanalytic psychotherapist and art psychotherapist, I am interested in how early experiences, attachments and unspoken emotional worlds and embodied experience continues to shape the present.
I see therapy as a space where parts of ourselves that have had to adapt, hide, protect or remain unspoken can gradually be met with curiosity rather than judgement. Together, we can explore what feels difficult or confusing, while noticing less conscious feelings, defences and ways of relating that may be influencing your experience now.
My approach is integrative, psychodynamic and creative, and is also informed by my background in mindfulness and yoga teaching. While talking is central, I value image, metaphor, dreams, bodily experience and imagination as ways of reaching feelings and meanings that may not yet be easy to put into words. You do not need to be “good at art”; creative expression can simply offer another language for what feels complex, hidden or hard to reach.
I am UKCP registered and HCPC registered, and a member of the British Association of Art Psychotherapists. I work with close attention to confidentiality, boundaries, safety and respect, offering a therapeutic relationship in which painful, conflicted or unknown aspects of experience can be explored at a manageable pace. If this way of working resonates with you, you are welcome to get in touch to see if we might be a good fit.
Training, qualifications & experience
I completed a Jungian-based MA in Art Psychotherapy at the University of Roehampton and have over 10 years’ experience working with young people, adults and people facing complex life circumstances across a range of settings. My experience includes offering psychotherapy and art therapy in schools and sixth form colleges, higher education, victim support and other third sector organisations, as well as NHS adult mental health services.
Alongside my clinical practice, I offer psychotherapy supervision and work as an Associate Lecturer and tutor on therapy training and creative arts courses.
Member organisations

The HCPC are an independent, UK-wide health regulator. They set standards of professional training, performance and conduct for 16 professions.
They keep a register of health professionals who meet their standards, and they take action if registered health professionals fall below those standards. They were created by a piece of legislation called the Health Professions Order 2001.
Registration means that a health professional meets national standards for their professional training, performance and conduct.
