About me
Summary
I offer talk therapy and art therapy online. I am an experienced therapist and supervisor registered with the British Psychoanalytic Council, British Association of Art Therapists and Health and Care Professions Council. I have extensive experience and training in both talk and art therapy. I aim to provide a space that is steady, respectful, and containing, where difficult thoughts and feelings can be approached safely.
Who I work with
In my practice I work with young adults and adults facing different life challenges. These tend to include navigating complex relationships, family and childhood difficulties, trauma and transitions, though these issues can sometimes present as loneliness, anxiety, depression or low self-confidence. I also work with people exploring their identity, for example, exploring experiences of neurodivergence (ADHD, autism etc.) or experiences of sexuality and gender.
I find it truly meaningful to accompany and support clients in these explorations, so that they can imagine how they might wish to move forwards.
The space I offer
I aim to provide a thoughtful, collaborative space in which we can explore what feels important to each person, at their own pace. Through shared dialogue and sensitive exchange, we will endeavour to build a professional relationship that feels safe-enough for each person to consider the challenges they currently face. This may be through words, but we may also lean on image-making or somatic processing, if this feels appropriate. Paying attention to images and our bodily process can offer a powerful way of accessing and expressing thoughts or feelings which may otherwise be hard to put into words.
My approach
My approach is grounded in contemporary psychodynamic and psychoanalytic principles, combined with somatic interventions (SI) and, where appropriate, art psychotherapy (AT) and mentalisation-based techniques (MBT). I find that these evidence-informed approaches provide a solid foundation for therapeutic work. Psychoanalytic theory helps us to make sense of how the past may be informing patterns, thoughts, and behaviours in the present. Working with the body and creative processes can help us to process memory and trauma that is stored in the body, not just the mind. Finally, working with MBT approaches can make therapy more relatable and accessible.
My wider experience
I also bring experience of working in third-sector organisations, institutional settings, and community projects, which informs my understanding of how personal difficulties can be shaped by wider systems. My work as an organisational therapist also allows me to support clients facing the complexities of working-life -whether that is workplace relationships, institutional dynamics, burnout, leadership or the personal impact of professional roles.
Working with difference
I value the thoughtful engagement that working with difference requires, and I welcome clients with diverse life experiences and beliefs.

Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
The British Psychoanalytic Council (BPC) is a professional association, representing the profession of psychoanalytic psychotherapy.
The organisation is itself made up of fourteen member organisations and BPC accredits the trainings of its member organisations. An individual who qualifies from one of these trainings is then eligible for entry into the BPC's register.
BPC registrants are governed by a code of ethics, a policy of continuing professional development, a statement on confidentiality and a complaints procedure. The BPC is a Member Society of the European Federation for Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy in the Public Sector (EFPP). Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
The HCPC are an independent, UK-wide health regulator. They set standards of professional training, performance and conduct for 16 professions.
They keep a register of health professionals who meet their standards, and they take action if registered health professionals fall below those standards. They were created by a piece of legislation called the Health Professions Order 2001.
Registration means that a health professional meets national standards for their professional training, performance and conduct.
