About me
I am Psychodynamic & CBT Psychotherapist BACP registered. I provide support to: Couples & Individuals.
I work with: Narcissistic & Borderline Personality Disorder, Compulsive Behaviour, Coercive control, Manipulation, Boundaries, CPTSD, OCD, Loss, Sexual & Emotional Intimacy, Infidelity, Marital Conflict, Separation/Divorce in a caring, confidential & non-judgmental space.
One of the most rewarding aspects of my practice is helping individuals and couples challenge where they feel stuck, navigating painful or uncertain times toward clarity, resilience, and growth.
Areas of Support for Individuals & Couples- Break repetitive emotional patterns, set firm boundaries, and work through anxiety, OCD, or trauma (CPTSD). Address deep-seated conflict, heal from infidelity, rebuild broken trust, break free from dynamics involving coercive control, manipulation, gaslighting, narcissistic or borderline personality traits & high-conflict or emotionally unavailable partners. I support clients in restoring emotional and physical intimacy, navigating mid-life crises, and transitioning together into a healthier new chapter including co-parenting or support through separation.
I offer a warm, confidential, and grounded space where you can feel fully heard and supported as we work together to understand your story and create lasting change.
My Approach
To support your growth, I integrate two powerful, complementary modalities:
Psychodynamic Therapy - Explores how early experiences and attachment patterns shape your present relationships and emotional world bringing clarity to subconscious cycles so you can heal from the root.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) - Focuses on the present by identifying how your thoughts, feelings, and actions interact, giving you clear ways to navigate stress and break through feeling stuck.
Accessible Online Therapy
To fit seamlessly into your life, sessions are held securely online via Zoom, Teams, WhatsApp, or FaceTime. You can receive dedicated, professional care from the complete comfort and privacy of your own space.
Taking the First Step
I welcome you to a complimentary 30-minute confidential consultation, where we can discuss your needs and ensure we are the right fit.

Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
