I am an integrative psychotherapist working with adults and couples across a broad range of emotional and psychological difficulties, with particular experience in grief and loss, trauma, OCD, addictions, anxiety, identity and relationship difficulties.
At the centre of my work is the belief that therapy needs to understand the person, not just the problem. Our experiences don't exist in isolation; they are shaped by our past, relationships, culture, faith, family and identity, as well as experiences and patterns that may be carried across generations. I work with sensitivity to how these different parts of our lives can influence the way we understand ourselves, our relationships, the choices we make and the way we experience distress and healing.
My approach is therefore integrative. I draw on person-centred, psychodynamic, existential, attachment, trauma-informed and cognitive behavioural approaches, depending on the person I am working with and what we are trying to understand or change. This might involve exploring earlier experiences and recurring patterns, working with difficulties affecting you in the present, or considering questions around meaning, identity and the life you want to create.
I am a qualified EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) practitioner and also use the Rewind Technique within my trauma work. My additional specialist training includes trauma-informed practice, OCD and addictions.
I also offer couples therapy for partners experiencing communication difficulties, emotional disconnection, recurring conflict or other challenges within their relationship.
I have a particular interest in grief and loss and in how significant experiences can continue to shape us long after the event itself. My work is not based on the idea that everything difficult needs to be “fixed”. Sometimes therapy is about change; sometimes it is about understanding, acceptance, meaning and learning how to carry an experience differently.
I see therapy as a collaborative and genuinely human relationship. I will listen, but I will also reflect with you, be curious, notice patterns and gently challenge where this may be helpful. My aim is to offer a space where you can understand yourself more deeply while working towards meaningful and lasting change.
Alongside private practice, I am a clinical supervisor, counselling tutor, trainer and author, and I am currently studying towards a Master’s in Counselling and Psychotherapy. I am also the founder of INNATE Counselling and Psychotherapy, an approved CPCAB counselling training centre.

Initial Consultation
I offer a free 20-minute initial consultation via video call. This is a chance for us to talk informally, explore what brings you to therapy, and see if we feel like the right match to work together. You’re welcome to ask any questions you may have about the process, and there’s no pressure to commit. It’s important that you feel comfortable and supported from the very beginning.
