About Me

I am a registered member of the BACP and an integrative, relational psychotherapist and counsellor.  This means I put you and the relationship between us at the centre of my work; your therapy.  I have a natural curiosity and interest in people, and truly believe in the power of psychotherapy to transform lives.

​

Working with and supporting people has been central to my career. Alongside my work as a psychotherapist, I have a background as an academic and business consultant, as well as experience in caring roles with young people and vulnerable adults. This breadth of experience informs a thoughtful, creative, and humanistic approach to therapy, shaped around each individual rather than a one-size-fits-all model.

​

Having sought therapy for myself during periods of mental health difficulty, I hold deep respect for how vulnerable it can feel to ask for support. I feel genuinely privileged to walk alongside people at times of crisis, transition, or uncertainty. Whatever brings you to therapy — whether past trauma, relationship difficulties, current turmoil, or fears about the future — I aim to be with you, offering both support and challenge at a pace that feels right.

​

Clients often describe therapy with me as a space where they begin to feel seen, heard, and accepted. Over time, many notice increased self-compassion and emotional awareness, clearer boundaries and greater confidence. They can begin to enjoy a more stable sense of self, relief from chronic shame and self-criticism, and an improved ability to tolerate vulnerability and difficult emotions.

My aim is not only to help you make sense of your experiences, but to support you in developing the internal resources you need to move forward with greater trust in yourself and in your capacity to live well.

​

​Therapy with me is relational, human, and grounded in dignity. I bring warmth, humour, curiosity, and honesty into the room, alongside deep compassion and a strong understanding of trauma. My own lived experience of loss, breakdown, recovery, and profound transition means I’m not frightened by despair, anger, or shame – and you don’t need to protect me from your truth.
