I am a warm, intuitive & dynamic Transpersonal Integrative Therapist with a special interest in creative practice. Working integratively means I draw on a variety of therapeutic techniques, from exploring the impact of early life dynamics on the present, to CBT (cognitive behaviour therapy). The Transpersonal element adds depth and creativity to the process, examples of this are: helping you find wisdom and meaning in your struggles, using creative tools (e.g. bodywork, drawing, voice/sound, the written word) and most importantly, offering space for your authentic self, who you are under the wounding and conditioning, to flourish.

In my work as a Psychologist and Integrative Psychotherapist I bring together cognitive and somatic ways of working to provide effective treatment. I use a range of models, including psychodynamic and humanistic approaches, mindfulness, embodiment and movement psychotherapy. Sometimes the nature of our experience is far more complex than words can describe and this form of therapy encourages the individual to integrate what often is felt ineffably. By supporting the creative potential of each individual’s body-mind, healing begins.

Are you feeling anxious, demotivated, and or depressed? Perhaps you feel like you're at your wits end and don't know what to do? Do you ever feel inadequate, insecure or like you don't belong? Do you ever wish you could just feel more confident? Do you find yourself caught in a cycle of negative thinking or trying to avoid your problem but it just won't go away? I have been working successfully with clients with low confidence, self-esteem, social anxiety, social phobia, and existential issues in a counselling or coaching capacity. My style is collaborative, solution-focussed, & somatic, tailored to you and your individual needs.

I offer a psychoanalytic approach which endeavours to recognise how recurring patterns in relationships have been effected by the past and earlier experiences. A current traumatic experience or distressing situation may be a reminder of an early hurt. From childhood, foundations for relationships are set in place and provide a template for what lies ahead. Dependent on these secure/insecure early foundations, we form strategies to cope with unpredictable or unpalatable feelings. It may be that circumstances arise which cause us to reach for unhelpful strategies only serving to hurt us more.

You may be experiencing feelings which are leaving you distressed and confused. You may be feeling anxious or alone - unsure of where to turn or who can be there beside you. Coming for counselling may initially feel daunting, however it is a courageous step forward in enabling a time of self reflection. It is important that you feel that the space I offer is a space where you can speak openly and freely, and that the warmth, empathy and non-judgemental space will enable you to feel listened to in a unique way where you feel able to express your emotions, empowering you to understand any negative feelings you may be experiencing.

Hello there, are you struggling with anxiety or depression, maybe trying to cope with a bereavement, the end of a relationship, embarking on a new life stage or feeling overwhelmed and stuck? Life can be challenging, and I aim to provide a warm, welcoming and confidential space for you to take the time to acknowledge and reflect upon difficulties. I also recognise how our early childhood experiences can significantly affect our adult lives. My focus is to support each client's unique exploration of their feelings, relationships, hopes and fears in the past and present so that they can find a pathway to the future.

I offer integrative therapy, neurodivergence support and cultural sensitivity. I draw on different styles of therapy and respond to your personal process. That can look like creating change when something feels amiss; uncovering what is underneath when you are feeling stuck or locked into repetitive patterns; exploration and reflection for when you are feeling confused or want to make sense of your experiences; and working with possibilities and finding new motivation, for when you want to focus on growth and strengths. I like to equip you with agency over your own development and share context as to how therapy works.

I believe that therapy allows you to take a more active role in understanding and experiencing your emotions. When we are not aware of our emotions or ideas, it can mean we act out certain behaviours – or experience certain feelings - without knowing why. And while we might be able to tolerate this for some time – perhaps even for a long time - I believe there is a difference between surviving and living. Developing a closer – or less mysterious - relationship with ourselves can allow us to go beyond living life passively and begin to really experience it.

Love, sex and personal relationships are where we manage our hopes, our fears and our vulnerabilities. When our connection with ourselves and others is going well it can feel transformative, but when it isn’t it can be extremely distressing. I offer a non-judgemental integrative approach to relationship and psychosexual therapy to work best with your circumstance, whatever they are, whether single, in a couple or open/polyamorous relationships. Troubled relationships, arguing, erection issues, loss of desire, anxiety, painful sex, vaginismus, shame about porn use or kinks, communication problems. This can all change.

Coming to counselling can be a scary (and brave) step to take! It involves opening up to a complete stranger about things you may have kept inside for many years. The people I work with come with a variety of issues. Some may want to speak about a specific issue such as relationship or work difficulties but others come with a feeling that they have been a bit stuck for a while and are not sure why.

Common difficulties I work with are depression and anxiety, low self-esteem and trauma. This means you might be struggling to manage stressors in your daily life, often feeling overwhelmed and that life is just too much to cope with. You might be struggling with socialising or managing day to day life tasks or finding it hard to move on from a difficult or traumatic experience, despite it being in the past. My aim as a therapist is to help you develop the skills and tools you need to manage life’s challenges again and to help you feel hopeful about the future.
