About me
You’ve already done the hard part by being here. Now let’s talk about what working with me really looks like.
I am a relational, solution-focused therapist this means I actively work with you to create meaningful change. My approach is compassionate. I will gently challenge you when it’s needed, because challenge (when held in safety and trust) helps you see blind spots, break unhelpful patterns, and step into new ways of living.
Much of my work focuses on anxiety, LGBTQIA+, childhood trauma and attachment, and how those early experiences continue to shape your relationships, choices, and sense of self today.
Therapy with me isn’t about endless circling or sticking plasters. It’s about uncovering what’s really going on, making sense of it together, and building practical, lasting strategies so you can move forward with confidence.
I offer both ongoing therapy and single-session therapy — ideal if you’re looking for a focused space to get clarity, direction, and tools you can use straight away.
Above all, my aim is for you to feel seen, supported, and empowered. It’s a space where real shifts can happen, and where you don’t have to do the hard work of change alone.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a relational, solution-focused Psychotherapist and Therapeutic Coach, with a First-Class (Hons) degree in Counselling, a Masters in Psychosis from King’s College London, and an Advanced Diploma in Clinical Supervision.
My training is broad and integrative, drawing on approaches such as CBT, Psychodynamic Therapy, Transactional Analysis, ACT, Narrative Therapy and more. This gives me the flexibility to respond to you as an individual, rather than fit you into one model.
I am directive in style — I won’t just sit back and nod. I’ll listen deeply, ask the right questions, and gently challenge where needed. This helps uncover blind spots, shift long-standing patterns, and build strategies for lasting change.
At the heart of my work is a focus on childhood trauma, attachment, psychosis, ADHD, LGBTQIA+ identities and kink. My approach is inclusive, affirming, and grounded in the belief that therapy should be both a safe space and a place where real transformation can happen.
