I work with people who want to take time to understand themselves and build skills that will support them for a lifetime. In therapy sessions, we’ll work together to understand current problems and how they came about, and find useful tools you can use long-term to solve them. I specialize in anxiety/worry, low mood, self-esteem, relationship issues, OCD, emotional dysregulation, and recovering from trauma. I love helping clients discover how their emotions work and build confidence in themselves and their relationships, to create more fulfilling and balanced lives.

I believe that anyone can benefit from counselling sessions time to time. We all need space to be heard, validated and feel safe to be able to tell our stories. Counselling with me can be that space. Over the years I have provided emotional support and guidance to the clients with issues like anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, low mood as well as difficult childhood memories, PTSD, panic attacks etc. The main aim of the sessions is to give you opportunity to express your worries and feelings in a safe and non-judgmental environment.

I firmly believe that we are fundamentally relational beings, ones that need security, understanding & care above all else. Real change comes not from trying to fix thinking patterns, self-concepts or the past, but in shifting relational dynamics in the here and now and finding new ways of being with another. This is what I focus on in therapy with my clients, and I draw on my background and experience in modern relational psychoanalysis, developmental theory, and in depth study of phenomenology & existential philosophy to look at what emerges and how that can inform meaningful change in your life.

I am a senior, HCPC registered Counselling Psychologist with over ten years experience of working within the NHS. Early experiences can shape our present but they don’t have to dictate our future. I want to help you develop insight into how you may have found yourself here and to explore with you how you would like your life to look and how you would like to move forward. Unconscious patterns of relating can play a pivotal role in distress within relationships and psychological therapy can throw light on its roots and what may be underpinning and maintaining these difficulties.

When you find yourself dealing with an unexpected life event or feelings that are overwhelming and hard to cope with, I feel it is the power of connection in relationship that can be the greatest source of support. This emphasis on connection allows us to create a therapeutic relationship where focussing on your needs is at the heart of the work together. Having experience of working in private practice, in a secondary school and with elite athletes I aim to support you in understanding your emotions and behaviours, to try to make sense of what may be going on for you underneath the surface.

Finding the right therapist for you is as much about their style and personality as their qualifications. I value warmth, collaboration, and humour when appropriate and I endeavour to bring these qualities to my practice. My work is integrative which means I can use different theories to suit each individual client's needs. I draw on relational psychoanalysis, attachment theory, Internal Family systems, ACT and humanistic approaches. I am also influenced by my interest in film and literature. I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.

My passion is to help children of all ages who may feel anxious; emotionally dysregulated; and mentally and physically exhausted feel at ease again in their bodies, their mind, their surroundings and their relationships. Alongside this, I support worried parents by empowering them to change the dynamics of their family in order to redress the balance and bring about harmony once again. It is crucial as a practitioner to view your family construct individually, to form a relationship with your family members and to create a bespoke package of treatment that you all feel comfortable with.
