About me

I am an experienced, qualified (MSc) Integrative Psychotherapist and Clinical Supervisor working from an office in Kenilworth.  

Offering face-to-face (preferred) or online sessions. 

I offer confidential professional psychotherapy and counselling using an integrative approach. I work mainly long-term but the number of sessions depends greatly on the nature of the concern and your preference.

My integrative approach as a practitioner and clinical supervisor is rooted in a relational framework, drawing on object relations, attachment theory, self-psychology, child development, and psychodynamic thinking. These perspectives help me understand how early relational experiences and unconscious processes shape clients’ present struggles, while humanistic values guide me in fostering authenticity, empathy, and the client’s innate capacity for growth. 

I also integrate body psychotherapy, attending to somatic processes as expressions of memory, emotion, and meaning. Creativity is central to my practice: I use metaphor, imagery, and inner child work, informed by my own interests in literature, art, music, spirituality, and the natural world. This combination allows me to work flexibly and responsively with each client, supporting depth, embodiment, and integration. 

As part of my commitment to professional development, I engage in personal therapy, supervision and (lots of) CPD. I strive to integrate an intersectional framework into all aspects of my practice, working to create spaces that are inclusive, compassionate, and attuned to the complexities of identity and lived experience. My approach emphasizes reflection, relational connection, and deep respect for diversity in all its forms. 

In a former life, I taught English Literature. I love dogs, poetry, painting, live music, and being outdoors. 

My primary focus is working with you in a relaxed, relational way.  I believe that the quality of the therapeutic relationship is key to the effectiveness of any therapy.  I aim to provide a secure, nurturing relationship offering a safe space and the time and opportunity to explore your thoughts, feelings and concerns.

My practice is based in central Kenilworth, and situated just off the A452, the main road through the town centre. There is on-street parking opposite the office, or two hours' free parking at nearby Waitrose.  I'm also within easy reach of local bus routes, and a couple of minutes' walk from Kenilworth train station.

Please do get in contact: I would be happy to talk with you about your concerns and to discuss if psychotherapy could be a suitable option for you.

Clinical Supervision: 

I hold a Diploma in Supervision (Level 7) from the Sherwood Psychotherapy Training Institute in Nottingham.  Please get in touch if you’re interested in discussing how we could work together to enhance and support your clinical practice.

PHYSIS.org.uk:  

PHYSIS is a relational–developmental integrative psychotherapy training space for trainee and newly-qualified psychotherapists. Along with my friend and colleague (frolleague?) Cathy Connan, we created PHYSIS to support therapists as they build confidence, clarity and sustainable practice in the early stages of their careers.  We are both UKCP accredited Psychotherapists and Clinical Supervisors.

We offer online training and resources across key areas including 'Ethical Practice', 'Self-care', and 'Starting in Private Practice'. Many of our offerings are free of charge and designed to be accessible, practical and reflective.

Upcoming topics include 'Using Supervision Effectively' and 'Assessment and Treatment Planning'. We also offer top-up supervision sessions, and in 2026 we’ll be facilitating an in-person Process Group in Warwickshire.
