About me
If you are living with the effects of trauma, sexual violence, anxiety, addiction, neurodivergence, relationship difficulties, or other life challenges, you don't have to face them alone. I offer a warm, compassionate, and non-judgmental space where you can feel safe to explore your experiences, make sense of what you're going through, and begin moving towards meaningful and lasting change.
I specialise in supporting adults who have experienced sexual violence, childhood abuse, and complex trauma. Alongside my private practice, I work with a specialist charity supporting survivors of sexual violence, giving me extensive experience in trauma-informed care. I also have experience working with neurodivergent individuals, people with learning disabilities, and those affected by addiction. I understand that every person's story is different, and I tailor therapy to your unique needs, strengths, and goals.
I am an integrative psychotherapist and trained art psychotherapist. My approach is collaborative, relational, and grounded in the belief that healing happens within a safe and trusting therapeutic relationship. While talking therapy is at the heart of my practice, I can also integrate creative approaches where appropriate. There is never any expectation to use art in therapy—it is simply another way of exploring thoughts and feelings when words alone don't feel enough.
Whatever has brought you to therapy, my aim is to help you feel heard, understood, and accepted. Together, we can explore the patterns that may be keeping you stuck, build on your strengths, and work towards greater confidence, resilience, and emotional wellbeing.
Taking the first step can feel daunting, but reaching out is often the beginning of positive change. I would be honoured to support you on your journey in a confidential, inclusive, and respectful therapeutic space.
Training, qualifications & experience
My training is integrative, meaning I draw from different traditions to inform my practice, including psychodynamic and humanistic, as well as more recent developments in neuroscience and trauma-theory. Authenticity, communication, collaboration and finding ways to be in the present moment together form the foundation of the work. You are welcome to work with movement or the arts in the sessions although this is completely optional.
As well as a masters in Integrative Psychotherapy using the Arts, I have additional training working with survivors of sexual violence, addiction and learning disabilities. I am also a member of the British Association of Art Therapists.
