I am passionate about trauma informed practice: making every effort to understand the impact of people’s lived experiences on their daily lives. My approach is based on psychological formulation, to make sense of what a person is experiencing, and then using a range of integrated approaches to help people to make changes. I care about empowering individuals to live the lives they want to live, and take a very human and empathic approach to working with people's distress.

Having problems with sleep can be crippling. It can affect every part of your life and can take the joy out of living. People suggest unhelpful personal approaches and useless products. I offer a thorough assessment. We’ll work together to develop your bespoke techniques to fall asleep faster, sleep better and feel more energised during the day.

You may be struggling with memories of past or recent trauma, having overwhelming feelings or have patterns in your life that you'd like to change. You may have experienced a one off trauma that continues to bother you, or you may have a complex trauma history. You may be worried about your thoughts or behaviour, either towards yourself or others. Perhaps your relationships have not been very healthy and you want to break the cycle. Therapy can help you to address these issues and bring you back to the self you used to be or move you forward to a stronger healthier place.

I am a very experienced and professional therapist with over twelve thousand client contact hours behind me in individual, couples and group work. I feel my experience coupled with my life experiences makes me the person and the therapist I am today. My training in the person-centred approach (three years) and in Transactional Analysis (seven years) together with continuing professional and personal development and supervision give me a strong theoretical and experiential focus to bring to my client work. I work very much in a relational way (research indicates that the therapeutic relationship is key to positive therapy outcomes)

I have a passion to work with people who are in a transition period in life. You may well be aware that you are stuck or unhappy in some way and yet feel powerless to change. It may seem impossible to move forward, yet the idea of staying in the exact same position in life is equally traumatic. Remaining stuck is to deny our authentic self, the part of us that knows and yearns for a better way to be. My work is to journey with you, helping you connect with who you really are.

I believe that we all need a safe space to talk about what we are going through at particular points in our lives. I help people strive to make sense of often complex issues because developing our self-awareness empowers us towards acceptance and change. I am passionate about connecting with others through therapeutic relationships in order to collaboratively address difficulties and achieve goals.

As a registered health psychologist who’s experienced first-hand what it feels like to be stressed, anxious and burnt out, I’m here to help. I’m friendly and open-minded with an optimistic outlook and a holistic approach. I’m passionate about what I do and am fascinated by the mind-body connection; it really is a magical system and as humans, we need to understand and appreciate it better. No one teaches us how to understand the mind – it certainly doesn’t come with a ready-made manual – but I love knowing that my work makes a huge difference to others.
