BSc Integrative Psychotherapeutic Counsellor UKCP Norwich

About me

I am interested in finding out who you are at the deepest levels.
It doesn’t matter where you’ve been, what you’ve seen, or where you’re at right now. I want to understand — and I want to help you understand your self. Because the self is waiting to be witnessed and acknowledged.
Things changed for me when I stopped adapting to fit someone else’s world — and started identifying what was actually mine. That shift is at the heart of the work I offer. I will be looking to create with you — to find as much space for beauty, joy, and possibility in your life as we can build together.
The capacity for self-understanding exists in everyone. What it needs is the right conditions — the biological safety of feeling genuinely held. Therapy offers that: a starting point, and a launch pad for finding that same feeling elsewhere in your life. This is a space where new ways of knowing your self, and relating to others, can genuinely emerge.
I work with anxiety, relationship patterns, low self-worth, trauma, and the places where something keeps repeating. My approach is relational and trauma-informed — interested not just in what you’re experiencing, but in what’s underneath it, and what becomes possible when that’s understood.
