About me
Are you looking for a safe, creative space to explore what might be troubling you, causing you pain, or blocking you from moving forward in your life?
As a creative therapist, I provide a safe and permissive space where you can express and understand yourself and your relationships in new and helpful ways.
I hold the present and future as important as our past experiences and offer dynamic, forward looking, collaborative and creative therapy for individuals wanting more from life.
I have many years of experience providing individual and group therapy and supervision in NHS mental health services, charities, and my private practice. I support people dealing with both serious and enduring mental health conditions, as well as those looking to explore what therapy can offer them. My work is trauma-informed, culturally sensitive and evidence-based, meaning I prioritise your unique experiences while adopting proven therapeutic approaches.
Finding the right therapist is essential for successful therapy. That’s why I start all my work with an initial non-committal meeting. This allows us to determine whether I am a good fit for you. I offer both short- and long-term therapy options, available online or face-to-face from my studio near Bishops Stortford.
I am an HCPC registered Art Psychotherapist and a BCP MBT Therapist (Mentalization-Based Therapy).
If you’re ready to take the first step towards understanding yourself better and exploring your path forward, please reach out to schedule your initial meeting. I look forward to supporting you on your journey.

Areas of counselling I deal with
Other areas of counselling I deal with
I have a special interest in neurodiversity and its impact on mental health. I am experienced in working with trauma and personality disorders, and I adopt a "what has happened to me" approach rather than asking what's "wrong" with me. I seek to understand individuals in all our complexities and intersections.

Further information
I have been helping adults, teens, and families in crisis for many years, driven by a passion for therapy and its benefits. My practice is current and informed by the latest research, particularly regarding trauma and its connection to the body.
In my practice, I often employ a mentalization-based approach, which is particularly beneficial for individuals who have experienced relational trauma. This method helps us make sense of our thoughts, beliefs, wishes, and feelings, linking them to our actions and behaviours. It offers a 'bottom-up' strategy for emotion regulation, enhancing our ability to manage anxiety and depression while improving our relationships.
