About me
My approach is integrative and relational, combining talking therapy with creative exploration and bodywork techniques to support your individual needs. Imagination and self-discovery are at the heart of the work. I am also trained in dance movement psychotherapy, and we can use this as a grounding resource for working with somatic symptoms and connecting with feelings that words can’t quite reach.
I have experience working with a wide range of issues including relationship difficulties, lack of purpose, identity problems, sexual problems, depression, anxiety, bereavement, chronic health conditions, trauma, sexual abuse, addiction and eating disorders.
I work both online and in-person.

Alongside my private practice, I have worked for a number of organisations supporting survivors of trauma. This has involved the provision of specialist services for people with learning disabilities and autism, families impacted by institutionalised trauma, and survivors of sexual violence and abuse. I have also worked for many years as a school-based counsellor for children, young people and families. I continue to work with survivors of trauma in addition to my private psychotherapy work.
Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
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.
ADMP UK is the professional organisation for the profession for Dance Movement Psychotherapy in the United Kingdom.
They aim to support the development of DMP in the UK and internationally; foster communication among Dance Movement Psychotherapists (DMPs); and promote the use of DMP throughout the United Kingdom and abroad.

Additional information
I offer a free 15/20 minute initial phone call so that we can think about how we might work together. My fees are on a sliding scale of £65-£85 based on circumstances, and this is agreed in our initial meeting. I use this model so that I can offer some reduced-fee spaces for people who would otherwise be unable to access therapy. Please specify if this is what you are seeking, and I can share my current availability.
