About me
Sometimes life can appear manageable on the outside while feeling overwhelming or confusing within. You may be living with anxiety, trauma, or relationship difficulties alongside neurodiversity (ADHD or autism) or the emotional shifts linked to PMDD or perimenopause. Therapy can offer space to slow down and understand what lies beneath these patterns.
I am a UKCP-accredited Integrative Psychotherapist and Clinical Supervisor with nearly 20 years’ experience working with adults and couples. My work has particular focus on anxiety, trauma, neurodiversity and women’s emotional health, including PMDD and perimenopause. I also support neurodivergent relationships and couples.
My approach is integrative and relational. This means therapy is shaped around your needs rather than fitting you into a single model. I draw on approaches including EMDR, CBT and mindfulness-based work, alongside an understanding of how earlier experiences and nervous system responses can shape present difficulties. Sessions may focus on practical ways to manage anxiety or emotional overwhelm, while also offering space to explore patterns in relationships, identity and self-perception.
Many of the people I work with are thoughtful, capable individuals who appear to cope outwardly but feel overwhelmed, disconnected or caught in repeating patterns beneath the surface. Together we work to develop greater understanding, emotional steadiness and more compassionate ways of relating to yourself and others.
I welcome clients from diverse cultural backgrounds, identities and life experiences, including LGBTQIA+ clients and neurodivergent individuals and couples. My aim is to offer a thoughtful, respectful and confidential therapeutic space where differences are understood and celebrated rather than pathologised.
Training, qualifications & experience
With nearly 20 years’ experience as a psychotherapist, I have worked across a range of settings including the NHS, Mind and the Tasha Foundation. I have supported adults, students and young people through a wide variety of emotional and psychological difficulties, with particular focus on anxiety, trauma, neurodiversity (ADHD and autism), relationship challenges and work-related stress. I also work with women experiencing the emotional impact of PMDD, perimenopause and menopause.
I have extensive experience working with neurodivergent individuals and couples. My work often explores areas such as emotional regulation, executive functioning, sensory sensitivities and the impact of long-term masking. I also support clients experiencing chronic stress, burnout and the pressures of high-demand environments, helping them develop more sustainable ways of working, relating and caring for themselves.
Alongside my clinical background, I have experience in commercial environments, which gives me insight into the realities of high-performance workplaces. This informs my work with professionals navigating workplace stress, leadership challenges, career transitions and burnout. I also work with clients struggling with perfectionism, exploring how patterns of self-criticism and over-achievement often develop and how they can be reshaped in more compassionate and sustainable ways.
My therapeutic approach is grounded in Integrative Psychotherapy. This allows therapy to be shaped around the individual or couple rather than following a single model. I draw on approaches including EMDR, CBT, mindfulness-based work, Transactional Analysis and creative therapeutic methods, always working at a pace that feels manageable and supportive.
I hold a Master’s degree in Psychotherapy (Distinction) from the University of Birmingham and completed my clinical training in Humanistic and Integrative Psychotherapy at the Northern Guild, an institute accredited by both BACP and UKCP. I am also an EMDR practitioner and a qualified Clinical Supervisor.
Alongside my core training, I continue to undertake professional development in areas including ADHD, autism, trauma, neurodivergent relationships, anxiety and women’s emotional health. I have also trained in Solution-Focused Brief Therapy and Sand Tray Therapy, allowing me to offer a flexible and responsive approach to therapy.

First sessions and getting started
The first session offers space to explore what brings you to therapy and what you hope to gain from the process. I will ask some questions about your current situation and background, and you are welcome to ask about how I work. This meeting helps us decide whether the approach feels like a good fit before continuing.
=============================================
Flexible scheduling
I offer daytime and evening appointments, with limited weekend availability. Sessions can also be arranged flexibly for clients with irregular or shift-based work schedules.
=============================================
Short-term and longer-term therapy
I offer both short-term and longer-term therapy, depending on your needs and goals. Short-term work can provide focused support around a particular difficulty or life transition, while longer-term therapy allows for deeper exploration of patterns, past experiences and complex emotional difficulties. We review the direction of therapy together so that it remains relevant and responsive over time.
=============================================
International clients
I regularly work with clients living outside the UK. Online therapy allows you to access support wherever you are based. I take time zone differences into account and am familiar with the challenges of living and working across cultures.
