About me
How would you like to feel?
Emotional health is not about feeling happy all the time.
It is, at least for me, about having fulfilling relationships with others, finding your place in the world, and experiencing a full range of emotions. It is about understanding, respecting, and trusting yourself. It is about knowing who you are and liking yourself. Right now you may not be quite there, but if this is where you want to get I’m here to help you on your way.
Different therapists offer different expertise and it is important to find someone who would offer what you need. I may be the right therapist for you…
If you struggle with your own feelings or find relationships challenging.
If you learnt earlier in life, either within your family or at boarding school that you need to be strong and just get on with life (and leave psychotherapy for people who have ‘real problems’).
If you find feeling things unsettling or even threatening and believe that it is somewhat safer or better not to feel.
If you just don’t feel much or feel like your feelings are not real or yours.
If you tend to judge your feelings as either right or wrong/ good or bad.
If you’re struggling with past traumatic or challenging experiences.
If there is a significant difference between the way you present yourself to others and the way you feel about yourself.
If you're struggling because others - or the world at large - are not accepting who you are.
If you are looking for the objective reason for your difficulties and either cannot find it or finding it doesn’t change the way you feel.
If you feel that because there was no massive trauma in your life therapy would be self-indulgent.
I work in a relational way and I’m interested in how you relate to yourself, people in your life and to the wider world. As an integrative psychotherapist, I blend a number of established psychotherapeutic theories into a framework that is aligned with my values – meaning I walk my talk. My practice is informed by psychodynamic theories, attachment, neuroscience, trauma theories and existential values. I also consider the wider context in which we live as an important factor that impacts how we feel. These various contexts can support us or they can limit or even oppress us and I believe that it's important to pay attention to those dynamics in psychotherapy.
What all that theory means in practice is that I am genuinely interested in who you are, what you think, what you feel and whether the way you present in the world is aligned with how you feel in private.
I’m curious about how you got where you are and ready to support you to get where you want to be. If you are ready to start that process, email me to arrange an initial consultation.

Member organisations
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 UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) is a leading professional body for the education, training and regulation of psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors. Its register is accredited by the government's Professional Standards Authority.
As part of its commitment to protect the public, it works to improve access to psychotherapy, to support and disseminate research, to improve standards and to respond effectively to complaints against its members.
UKCP standards cover the range of different psychotherapies. Registration is obtained by training or accrediting with one of its member organisations, or by holding a European Certificate in Psychotherapy. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
