About me

I'm a Person-Centred Experiential Psychotherapist specialising in narcissistic abuse recovery and couples therapy. My work focuses on understanding the psychological patterns that keep you stuck, not just 'recognising what happened' & transforming how you relate to yourself and others.

I've been where you are. My own therapeutic journey showed me what's possible when you work with someone who truly understands the process. That experience shaped my decision to train as a therapist and informs how I work with clients today.

You might be clear about what you need, or you might still be figuring it out. Either way, therapy is about gaining deeper awareness of your thoughts, feelings, defences & finding more authentic ways of living that align with who you actually are.

I hold Dr. Ramani Durvasula Certification in narcissistic abuse recovery and Gottman Method training for couples therapy, alongside my Master's degree and Post Graduate Diploma. I'm an Accredited Registrant with the NCPS.

Take your time choosing a therapist & use the free consultation to see if we're the right fit.

Further information

My Approach

I work within the person-centred experiential framework, which means you're not a passive recipient of treatment but an authority on how you experience your self & your life. My role is to help you understand the patterns, defences & ways of relating that keep you stuck.

The therapy is more than symptom management & focused on helping you reconnect with who you actually are beneath the conditioning, trauma responses & defensive patterns you've developed.

Specialised Work

I've trained with Dr. Ramani Durvasula in narcissistic abuse recovery & I am a Certified Narcissistic Abuse Treatment Clinician, one of only two recognised training programs in this field globally. I'm also trained in the Gottman Method for couples therapy, which focuses on the research-backed mechanics of what makes relationships work or fail.

How We Work Together

Sessions are collaborative. You set the agenda, whether that's processing past trauma, understanding current relationship patterns, or working toward specific changes. I work relationally, which means the therapeutic relationship itself becomes a space to explore and shift how you connect with others.

Practical Details

I offer a free initial consultation so you can decide if this approach feels right. This is an informal conversation about whether we're a good fit for the work you want to do.
