About me

I am a compassionate and relational psychotherapist, and I understand the deep need for clients to feel truly seen and heard. My practice provides a safe, confidential space where one can deepen self-awareness and move toward greater ease, freedom and choice in life - a life where a person can flourish rather than simply survive.

I use a transpersonal, integrative approach to help clients explore what may be wanting to emerge through their pain or crisis. I work with individuals from all backgrounds whether it's support for a specific issue or to explore for personal growth.

I blend talking therapy with creative techniques such as visualisation, breathwork and body-based practices to explore your inner world and build a deeper connection with yourself.

I work with many issues, including but not limited to:

  • Depression
  • Anxiety
  • Grief work
  • Relationship issues 
  • Co-dependancy
  • Family conflict
  • Life transitions 
  • Parenting issues
  • Self esteem and confidence
  • Women’s issues 
  • Marital and premarital issues 
  • Occupational challenges
  • Spirituality 

Training, qualifications & experience

I am qualified as a psychotherapist through The Centre for Counselling & Psychotherapy Education (CCPE) and am a member of UKCP and BACP.
