My ideal client will be hungry to look at and into themselves in the face of whatever brings them to therapy, and will want to work through their challenges to identify ways of moving forward. Perhaps you feel adrift in a current relationship, or following a break-up; you may be grieving a loved one; you may feel that you lack purpose. Whatever it is, I believe that knowing ourselves better can help us find alternative ways of thinking and feeling, and can help us avoid falling into the same old patterns of behaviour. That you are here looking for a therapist means that you want something to change, a hugely important first step.

I am lucky to be working with clients from a wide range of backgrounds with all sorts of issues. I see people on a 1-1 and if indicated, in my analytic group; mostly helping people with inter-personal issues which are often at the root of their depression, anxiety, loneliness. Clients report life-changing improvements in close relationships, self-awareness, self-confidence and feelings of belonging and significance. These foundational shifts occur through conversation: making links between past and present, noticing patterns and getting to the root cause.

I understand how it can feel challenging to begin work with a therapist, and I aim to create a space that feels safe, accepting and non-judgmental. I work closely with clients to understand their goals, so I can tailor treatment plans based on each client's unique needs. I focus on deepening my clients' understanding of themselves, with the goal of helping clients experience the sense of empowerment and freedom that often accompanies deeper self understanding. I have helped clients with a range of concerns, such as relationship difficulties, women's health, parental concerns, anxiety, life-transitions, grief and loss, depression
