About me

I am a fully qualified and registered Humanistic and Integrative psychotherapist. I can draw from many different therapeutic approaches to work in ways that feel meaningful and suitable to you.  I work relationally and collaboratively with you to create a space within which you can have full expression of self, process experiences and feelings safely and perhaps discover nourishing 'core' parts of you as you get to know the habits and behaviours you historically developed in order to fit in, progress, or survive.


Psychotherapy explores deep rooted difficulties and recurring problems in order to gain insight of the issues we face and our ways of relating. It provides a confidential environment where you can talk openly about things you might find difficult to discuss elsewhere and can be a powerful, healing, surprising, and life-changing experience.

Whether you are seeking psychotherapy due to specific difficulties, or, perhaps, embarking on a more general search for self-understanding or fulfilment – Please get in touch if you would like to discuss how psychotherapy might help you or to arrange a no charge/no obligation initial session to see if I would be the right fit for you.
