About me

 I know that reaching out for therapy can feel overwhelming or even intimidating at first. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, trauma, or simply feeling stuck, I want you to know that you're not alone, it's a brave decision to seek help, and I'm here to support you.


As a fully qualified and accredited  therapist with many years of experience working in helping professions I have had the privilege of supporting clients through a variety of challenges. My approach is holistic, integrative and tailored to your individual needs. Due to the diverse nature of my experience I am trained in and able to incorporate tools and theories from across the spectrum of psychotherapy. These include practical interventions such as CBT, traditional humanistic, gestalt and psychodynamic therapy and transformative techniques like mindfulness, breathwork and meditation. I aim to create a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore your feelings, thoughts, and goals for a happier life.


 I believe that therapy is a collaborative journey, and my role is to walk alongside you, providing guidance and tools that empower you to make lasting changes. I’m deeply committed to building trust and fostering a compassionate space where you can feel heard, respected, and supported, no matter what you’re going through.


 Each person’s path to healing is different, and I’m here to listen to your story and tailor our work together to your specific goals. Whether you’re looking for short-term support or ongoing therapy, I’m flexible in meeting you where you are and adapting our work to what feels most helpful for you.


I invite you to take the first step toward creating the life you want to live. If you’re ready to start, or even just want to ask more questions about how I can support you, please reach out to schedule a consultation. I look forward to hearing from you and helping you begin this transformative journey.


I offer face to face sessions in Petersfield, Liphook and surrounding areas as well as online or phone therapy wherever you are in the world. For more information or to book your first free 30 minute introductory session please get in touch. I look forward to meeting you.
