About me
About Me
You may be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or uncertain about aspects of your life, work, or relationships. Therapy can offer a safe and reflective space to explore these experiences, understand patterns, and begin to move forward.
I work with adults and couples, who are exploring personal, relational, or emotional challenges. I also welcome clients of diverse sexualities, gender identities, and relationship styles. People often come to therapy to explore issues such as anxiety, depression, trauma, identity, relationship difficulties, or major life transitions.
My Experience
I am a UKCP registered psychotherapist with over 23 years experience working in private practice, primary care, and charitable organisations. I am also a Training Supervisor at the Psychosynthesis and Education Trust (London Bridge), supporting the development of other therapists.
I have worked with a wide range of clients, including those experiencing stress, burnout, identity questions, sexual or gender concerns, trauma, grief, and relationship issues. I also have extensive experience in couple counselling and supporting people in long-term, meaningful therapeutic work.
My Approach
My core training is in psychosynthesis psychotherapy, an integrative approach that helps clients understand challenges while reconnecting with inner strengths, values, and purpose. I also draw on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness to support emotional regulation and practical coping strategies.
Therapy is collaborative and reflective, unfolding at a pace that feels right for you. The focus is on understanding patterns, exploring personal and relational experiences, and supporting personal growth and transformation.
Couples Therapy
I work with couples experiencing communication difficulties, conflict, or emotional distance. I aim to create a balanced and respectful space where both partners feel heard. Together we explore the patterns shaping the relationship, fostering understanding, connection, and collaboration rather than assigning blame.
