Sometimes aspects of our life can overwhelm us. Life events such as a bereavement, relationship/ family issues, a job loss or isolation can leave us feeling fearful, stressed and unable to cope. We can also feel stuck in certain patterns that we wish to break free from. Talking about all these things can help to bring balance back into our lives and gain a new understanding of ourselves. I aim to make it possible for you to speak about things which you might not have put into words before and ask questions to help you with your thinking. Giving yourself the space to talk openly and be heard can bring about tremendous change within.

I am currently employed in specialist mental health services in the NHS as a senior family therapist, where I undertake therapy, consultation and teaching.
Relationships can provide us with support and also lead to stress, conflict and misunderstandings. That's why they're at the centre of systemic psychotherapy. I meet with people to think about the changes they want to see within significant relationships in their lives. It’s important that you come to therapy feeling confident that you won’t be judged and that your strengths will be recognised. My role is to provide a safe and supportive therapeutic space, where people can explore their worries and problems, and find ways to move forward with their lives. I'll sometimes discuss strategies that others have found helpful.

I am an experienced psychologist who offers 1:1 therapy to adults and young people (16+) who present with long-standing relationship problems and emotional issues. May that be recurring difficulties with friends, co-workers or family members, unintentionally choosing the ‘wrong’ partners, or perhaps choosing not to relate at all by avoiding people all together. If such relational dynamics persist, they are bound to make us feel anxious, depressed or numb. My passion is to help others make sense of and release dysfunctional patterns in relationships, to build emotional resilience, and to have more fulfilling connections instead.

Do you feel exhausted and stuck in unhelpful patterns? Maybe your relationships with family, friends, or colleagues can be difficult, and you feel misunderstood, anxious and isolated. Sometimes we aren’t always aware of the reasons that are making us feel this way. You might be holding onto anger, shame, sadness, without the support to help navigate these feelings and create the changes you need. As a therapist who works with clients who have these experiences, I aim to provide a safe, inclusive, neuro-affirming environment to explore your emotions and to help you make sense of them.

Central to my therapeutic approach is the belief that the solutions to life’s challenges lie within us, not outside. By learning to love and accept ourselves as we are, we can develop greater empathy for others, improve our relationships, and create the life we desire. I believe that most people can benefit from therapy, as it provides a space where you can freely express yourself without the worry of upsetting friends or family. In therapy, you can discuss your issues with someone who will not judge you or dictate your actions, allowing you to explore your options and make choices.

Even though you are looking for a psychotherapist or coach who specialises in working with neurodivergent people, your identity may not be the central reason for seeking a therapist. You can arrive presenting with anything that is part of human experience or life. Yet, the importance of choosing a neurodivergent psychotherapist is that there will be understanding of any sensory and processing differences. This means that wrong assumptions about how you ‘should be’ aren’t made, you won't be misread, and, consequently, the work will have meaning and usefulness for you. Adult individuals and couples are welcome.
