About me
I’m a UKCP accredited psychotherapist who works with both mind and body — combining traditional psychotherapy with contemporary energy-based techniques to help you heal at the deepest level.
My approach goes beyond talk therapy. I help you regulate your nervous system, release emotional blocks, and reconnect with who you truly are — so you can feel calmer, clearer, and more empowered in your life and relationships.
You don’t need to be in crisis to seek therapy — sometimes, you just know something needs to change.
You might feel stuck, overwhelmed, anxious or disconnected. You’ve tried to figure it out, maybe even tried therapy before, but something still isn’t shifting.
That’s where I can help.
I work with people who are ready to go deeper — who want to feel more like themselves again. My approach integrates traditional psychotherapy with powerful energy-based techniques, helping you shift old patterns not just in your mind, but in your body and nervous system too.
I hold an MSc in Integrative psychotherapy and a diploma in Practising Energy Psychotherapy. I have over 16 years experience offering both in-person sessions in Cookham, Berkshire, and online therapy. My approach is warm, empathetic, and non-judgmental, creating a safe space where you can explore whatever thoughts, feelings, or life events are affecting you. I’m here to ensure you feel heard, supported, and respected.
I am deeply passionate about personal wellbeing and believe that happiness and fulfillment are within everyone’s reach. Although it can sometimes feel like a distant goal, taking time to look inward is a vital first step towards achieving lasting change.
Training, qualifications & experience
I hold an MSc in Integrative Psychotherapy from the Metanoia Institute in London. My five year training covers many aspects of psychotherapy modalities. I have over sixteen years experience during which I have worked extensively with long and short term clients to meet individual needs and circumstances.
I have a Diploma in Energy Psychotherapy from Confer which means I work with the subtle energy systems of the body, helping you shift old patterns not just in your mind, but in your body and nervous system too.
I am an accredited member of the UKCP (UK Council for Psychotherapy).

Further information
As part of my training I was required to have personal psychotherapy for my own development, so I have experience of participating in therapy. I know that sometimes it is difficult to know what to say or where to start. What is really important is how you feel, so if you feel that you want or need to speak to someone then pick up the phone and we will figure out the rest when we speak.
