Training, qualifications & experience
I am currently training as a Psychosexual Therapist, expanding my work to include therapy for individuals and couples facing challenges related to intimacy, sexuality, and relationships. This allows me to offer a holistic perspective, recognising the deep connections between early emotional life, relational dynamics, and sexual well-being.
With over 15 years of experience as a Child & Adolescent Psychoanalytic Psychotherapist in the NHS, I have worked extensively with young people, adults, and families navigating complex emotional and relational difficulties. Alongside this, I am a trained EMDR therapist, integrating trauma-informed approaches into my work.
My practice is deeply rooted in psychoanalytic thinking, which offers a space to explore how past experiences shape our present relationships, patterns of thinking, and emotional well-being. I also incorporate contemporary understandings of trauma and attachment, ensuring a nuanced and flexible approach tailored to each individual.

Further information
Starting therapy is a significant step, and I understand the importance of finding the right fit. I offer an initial consultation to explore what brings you to therapy and to think together about whether my approach is right for you. My practice is open to individuals of all backgrounds, and I work in a way that is inclusive, affirming, and non-judgmental.
If you would like to arrange a free 15 minute initial telephone consultation, please get in touch.
