About me
Sometimes life changes in ways we didn’t choose or expect. You may have lost someone you love, experienced a painful separation or betrayal, been through trauma, or reached a crisis in your relationship where you no longer know how to find your way back to each other.
You may be coping on the outside while privately feeling that something in you - or in your life - has fallen apart.
I am a Chartered Clinical Psychologist working with individuals and couples through significant loss, trauma, relationship difficulties and major life transitions.
My approach is warm, active and deeply relational. I’m interested not only in what has happened to you, but in how those experiences continue to shape the way you feel about yourself, the relationships you form, and how you respond when you feel hurt, frightened, rejected or alone.
Individual therapy & EMDR
With individuals, I work with grief and traumatic loss, relationship breakdown, relational and childhood trauma, anxiety, difficulties with trust and intimacy, and patterns that seem to repeat despite your best efforts to change them.
I integrate relational and attachment-based psychotherapy with EMDR, particularly when past experiences continue to feel very present - emotionally, physically or in your relationships.
Therapy gives us a place to understand what has happened, but also to notice the ways you have learned to cope with it. Together, we can work with experiences that continue to feel unresolved and with patterns that may once have protected you but are now keeping you stuck.
Couples therapy
I also work with couples who feel stuck, disconnected or caught in patterns of conflict that they cannot resolve on their own.
You may be trying to repair after betrayal or loss, struggling with intimacy or communication, navigating parenthood or another significant life transition, or questioning whether your relationship can survive what has happened.
Couples therapy can help us slow down what happens between you and understand what sits underneath the arguments, distance or resentment. We can begin to recognise the patterns you have become caught in and find different ways of communicating, repairing and relating to one another.
Sometimes the hardest part isn’t surviving what happened. It’s working out how to live afterwards.
There is life after - and it can be a life worth living.
Therapy can be a place to find your way back to yourself, reconnect with other people and begin to work out what you want your life and relationships to look like from here.
If any of this feels familiar, you're welcome to book a free 15-minute call before deciding anything. There's no pressure to go further - it's simply a chance for you to say a little about what's brought you here, ask me anything about how I work, and get a sense of whether we'd be a good fit. I see clients in person in Weybridge, Surrey, and in Anerley, South East London, as well as online.
