About me
Hello and welcome. I am a UKCP registered Psychotherapist and have been in practice since 2012, I have extensive clinical experience working with individuals, couples, and groups. As a senior university lecturer and supervising therapist, I am passionate about making the benefits of psychotherapy accessible to all.
My approach is integrative, drawing on trusted methods to help you understand how past experiences shape your present. Together, we can build a safe, trusting relationship that empowers you to understand yourself better and make more life-affirming choices. I am also a trauma-informed therapist and use specialised techniques like EMDR, which are highly effective for processing difficult memories, PTSD, and phobias.
