About me
About Me
Welcome, and thank you for visiting my profile.
Who I help
If you are feeling anxious, overwhelmed, low, stuck, or weighed down by past experiences, therapy can offer a place to breathe, make sense of what is happening, and begin to feel more like yourself again.Over the years, I have supported people with:
● anxiety
● depression
● trauma
● relationship difficulties
● low self-esteem
● phobias
● eating disorders
● grief
● the lasting effects of difficult childhood experiences
Therapy can help you understand these struggles more clearly, reduce their impact, and build a greater sense of confidence, stability and hope.
How I work
I provide a calm, safe and non-judgemental space where you can talk openly about what is troubling you and feel genuinely heard.
My style is warm, supportive and interactive. I tailor therapy to your individual needs, drawing on evidence-based approaches such as:
● EMDR
● Internal Family Systems (IFS)
● Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT)
● CBT
● Psychotherapy
Together we will explore what is keeping you stuck and work towards meaningful, lasting change in a way that feels manageable and supportive for you. I believe everyone has the capacity to heal and grow, and I will work alongside you at a pace that feels right. Some clients benefit from just a few sessions, while others choose longer-term therapy—we will decide together what best suits your needs.
My qualifications
With over 20 years’ experience, including a long career as an NHS therapist, supervisor and clinical lead, I am a UKCP registered and accredited psychotherapist, an accredited EMDR practitioner, an accredited IPT practitioner, and trained in Internal Family Systems (IFS).
