About me

I’m an integrative psychotherapist and trainee counselling psychologist, working across Buckinghamshire and Hertfordshire. I provide a safe, supportive space to help you navigate life’s most challenging moments.

How I Can Help:
Are you struggling with trauma, stress, grief, low mood, addiction, anxiety, or major life changes? Perhaps you’ve been thinking about seeking support but aren’t sure where to start. Whatever has brought you here today, I offer a compassionate and non-judgmental space to explore your experiences and emotions.

As a psychotherapist, I am here to support you on your journey towards healing and self-discovery. Whether you’re feeling stuck, anxious, or unsure about your next steps—whether in your relationships, career, or personal life—therapy can help bring clarity, resilience, and transformation.

What to Expect:
Therapy is a collaborative process. Together, we will explore the events that have shaped you, understand patterns that may be holding you back, and create meaningful change. My approach is relational and underpinned by humanistic values, drawing on Attachment Theory, Object Relations, Interpersonal Relational Psychoanalysis, Intersubjectivity, and Somatic Experiencing.

After an initial consultation, we will meet at the same time each week for 50 minutes—either for a set period or on an open-ended basis, depending on your needs. The therapeutic relationship is at the heart of this process, providing the foundation for insight, growth, and transformation.

Flexible Therapy Options:
I offer face-to-face sessions, as well as online (Zoom, Skype) and telephone therapy for those who prefer remote support or face accessibility challenges.

If you’re ready to take the next step, I can support you on your journey. Feel free to reach out for an initial consultation.

Key details

Wheelchair user access info
Wheelchair user access

Wheelchair-accessible premises should have step-free access for wheelchair users and individuals who are unable to climb stairs. If a Counsellor's premises aren't step-free, they may offer alternative services such as telephone/web-based appointments, home visits, or meeting clients in different location, so you can choose the option that suits you best.

You can contact the Counsellor to discuss the options available.

Under the Equality Act 2010 service providers have a duty to make reasonable adjustments to ensure that individuals with disabilities can access their service. You can read more about reasonable adjustments to help you to access services on the CAB website.
