About me
Integrative Psychotherapist | Aston Clinton & Online
Perhaps you’ve reached a point where you’re struggling to cope, feeling disconnected from yourself, or finding that the things you’ve always managed suddenly feel much harder.
You may be experiencing anxiety or depression, struggling in a relationship, adjusting to motherhood, going through menopause, or trying to rebuild your confidence after a difficult or abusive relationship.
Whatever has brought you to therapy, you don’t have to work it out alone.
I’m an Integrative Psychotherapist with 10 years experience as a practising psychotherapist and over 22 years working within mental health. I have spent 6 years working in the NHS as a High Intensity Counsellor, supporting people experiencing depression, anxiety and other significant mental-health difficulties.
I offer a warm, confidential and non-judgemental space where you can talk honestly about what’s happening without feeling judged or having to pretend that everything is okay.
Areas I particularly work with
I have a particular interest in supporting people through experiences and transitions that can profoundly affect how we see ourselves and our relationships, including:
• Domestic abuse and recovery
Helping survivors rebuild confidence, understand the impact of what they’ve experienced and reconnect with themselves.
• Perinatal mental health
Supporting women through pregnancy, early motherhood, identity changes, difficult experiences of motherhood, anxiety, depression and feeling overwhelmed.
• Menopause and midlife
A space to explore the emotional, relational and psychological impact of menopause and the changes that can come with midlife.
• Relationships and couples
Helping individuals and couples understand patterns within their relationship, improve communication and work through difficulties. Where depression or anxiety is affecting a relationship, therapy can help both partners understand what is happening and how to move forward together.
How I work
I don’t believe there is one type of therapy that works for everyone.
As an integrative psychotherapist, I draw on different therapeutic approaches and tailor our work to you. Sometimes you may need practical support with what’s happening right now; at other times, it may be helpful to explore deeper patterns, relationships or past experiences.
My approach is warm, collaborative and compassionate, but also honest. I won’t tell you what you should do or give you a list of things you “ought” to change.
Instead, we’ll work together to understand what’s happening, develop greater self-awareness and help you make changes that feel meaningful and sustainable.
You don’t need to know exactly what’s wrong before you contact me.
Sometimes knowing that something needs to change is enough.
If you’re considering therapy and aren’t sure whether I’m the right therapist for you, you’re welcome to get in touch for a free initial conversation.
