About me

Are you feeling overwhelmed or stuck? Perhaps you're feeling unhappy or uncertain about your relationships, or you're seeking a deeper connection with yourself, your partner, or your family.

You're not alone-and therapy can help.

I’m a UKCP-registered Systemic and Family Therapist with over eight years’ experience working therapeutically with individuals, couples, families, and groups. I support people facing a broad range of emotional, relational, and mental health challenges, both mild and more complex difficulties.

My approach is grounded in systemic thinking, which means I pay close attention to the relationships, contexts and patterns of communication that shape our lives. I work collaboratively and sensitively, with the aim of creating a space where clients feel safe, respected, and genuinely heard.

Clients often describe me as warm, curious, and engaged. I’m committed to building a collaborative, trusting therapeutic relationship that allows meaningful change to take place.

I believe the quality of our lives is deeply connected to the quality of our relationships-and that with the right support, individuals can bring about powerful shifts in their lives.

If you’d like to explore working together, reach out to book a free 20-minute consultation call.

Further information

Starting therapy can feel like a big step, especially if you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure where to begin. You might be struggling in your relationships, facing emotional challenges, or simply wanting to understand yourself better. I offer a warm, collaborative space where you can explore these experiences at your own pace.

I work exclusively online, which allows me to offer flexible scheduling-including Sundays-and to meet you in a space that feels safe and accessible.

I see therapy as a joint process: I bring clinical training and curiosity, and you bring your expertise on your life. Together, we’ll explore patterns in your relationships, communication, emotions and identity, always with respect for your values, context, and culture. I’ve worked with people navigating anxiety, low mood, family conflict, neurodivergence, identity questions, and the impact of trauma or loss.

If this sounds like what you're looking for, I offer a free 20-minute call so we can see whether working together feels like the right fit.
