About me
I’m a qualified psychotherapist trained in both psychoanalytic and cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) with an interest in spiritual psychology. This means I work at depth to understand your emotional world and early life experiences, while also helping you manage present-day difficulties with practical tools and strategies.
Some clients come with a clear issue, others with just a feeling. You don’t need to have all the answers; therapy is a place to begin asking the right questions. I believe the therapeutic relationship itself is healing, and that real change starts with feeling understood.
Whether you’re struggling with relationships, anxiety, low mood, self-doubt or past trauma, I’ll meet you where you are, with compassion and curiosity.
You don’t have to face this alone. If you’re thinking about therapy, that’s already a brave first step.

I draw from contemporary research across multiple disciplines, including trauma studies, emotional and personality disorders, attachment theory, developmental psychology, biopsychology, and neuroscience, to offer the most effective route forward.

I support adults, adolescents, children, and families navigating a wide range of emotional and psychological challenges.

Further information
My research interests lay in understanding the roots of emotional and psychological pain, and how it can be alleviated. This includes not only psychotherapeutic work, but also exploring how bodily-based approaches, nutrition, sleep, spirituality, hormone balance, and self-care can contribute to mental wellbeing.
