About me

Everyone has their own story and reasons for seeking therapy. Maybe you want to understand and improve your family or couple relationships, process your past and present experiences, or are seeking a safe space to understand your thoughts and feelings in a world that can often lead us to feel overwhelmed. 

As a systemic psychotherapist, I am committed to joining you on that journey. I can see you on your own, with a significant other or with your family.

I understand that finding and choosing a therapist is personal and can be challenging in itself, to support with this I offer a free 15-30 minute video consultation. An opportunity to discuss your specific needs and hopes, and for us to explore together if we would be a good therapeutic match.

Training, qualifications & experience

I am a qualified systemic psychotherapist and have worked with individuals, couples and families for over 20 years. This experience has taught me the significance of providing a safe therapeutic space for you to feel seen and heard as you process your experiences, and your relationship with yourself and others around you.

I work with:

  • Couples
  • Families
  • Groups
  • Individuals

Further information

Relationships 

I understand that our relationships with ourselves and those around us have a profound effect on our emotional well-being. I provide a safe space to be seen and heard, while we explore your worries, fears, and hopes for change.

Parenting 

Many parents are putting in a great deal of time and energy into parenting but because there is no linear road map they find themselves struggling to navigate the various stages and milestones. We live in a diverse and ever-changing society where new ideas about parenting can often feel contradictory to our cultural, religious, and family norms. Systemic therapy can help you navigate and adapt to the different stages of parenting while remaining connected to your children.

Family 

Families come in diverse forms, types and sizes, whether that be nuclear, extended, blended, sole parent, heterosexual, same-sex families, adopted and foster cared for children. Using a systemic approach allows all voices to be heard, factoring in the various inter-generational matters, misunderstandings and communication styles.

Separation 

Divorce and separation can be challenging and affect a range of relationships. This may involve decisions around moving house and co-parenting. Together, we can take the time to process the impact of this significant change and begin to navigate what life might look like after separation.
