About me
I work with people who find themselves feeling stuck. This may be in patterns of thinking, relationships, work, or overwhelming emotions. Many of the people I work with have experienced grief, trauma, or significant life challenges. Often, they have found ways to cope that have helped them survive for many years. However, there comes a point where these strategies no longer work as they once did, or the relief they provide is short-lived before anxiety, depression, or other difficulties return.
Together, we explore these coping mechanisms with curiosity and compassion. We seek to understand how they once served you, while discovering new, more sustainable ways of managing life's challenges. The aim is not simply to reduce symptoms, but to help you move forward with greater freedom, resilience, and a deeper connection to yourself.
I facilitate this process by listening carefully to your story and remaining genuinely curious about your experience. I offer a therapeutic space that is containing, respectful, and thoughtfully challenging. Together, we develop an understanding of what you have lived through, what those experiences mean for you now, and which parts of your story you want to carry forward—and which you are ready to leave behind. The work is honest, grounding, and empowering. Ultimately, it is a process of returning to yourself.
I have experience working with childhood and developmental trauma, including sexual, physical, and emotional abuse; grief and bereavement; cancer, including non-curable disease; and pregnancy complications, including termination for medical reasons (TFMR).
I enjoy working both in depth and with the broader context of a person's life, building a strong therapeutic relationship that supports meaningful and lasting change. As a result, much of my work is long-term, with clients typically attending weekly sessions for a year or more. I also offer an eight-week introductory block for those who are new to psychotherapy or feel uncertain about what to expect. This provides an opportunity to experience the therapeutic process in a contained way, and many clients who begin with this option choose to continue working with me on a longer-term basis.
Session fees range between £85-90 per 50-minutes. There are subsidised spots available for those eligible, please get in touch to learn more. I also accept AXA and WPA insurance.

Additional information
I offer a free 15-minute telephone call for us to explore what brings you to therapy at this time and how I can help you.
After this, we can then book an initial consultation. This will last 50-minutes and costs £90. This will be an opportunity for me to learn more about you and for you to get a sense of what it would be like to have therapy with me.
If we both agree, we can then begin to work together. Depending on how you decided to work with me, my fees range from £85 - £90 per session.
