About me
I am a BACP-registered and NCPS-accredited Integrative Psychotherapist. My practice is relational, responsive and tailored to your individuality and unique experience, drawing on a core of psychodynamic and person-centred foundations.
Perhaps you are…
up at night with the weight of self-doubt, even if life looks fine on the outside?
feeling like there's something beneath the surface, maybe from the past, itching for space to be seen and heard?
longing to feel like yourself again, but not sure who that is anymore?
feeling a little on the outside, and want to start understanding where this feeling comes from?
anxious, unsettled or fragmented, wishing for all the different parts of yourself to feel more together and integrated?
ready to go deeper, having perhaps experienced some therapy before?
Together, we can move beyond external expectations, towards more connection, deeper understanding and a truer sense of self.
Relationships with self and others — break-ups, repeating patterns, desire and connection, attachment-informed therapy
Inner critic & self-doubt — low self-esteem, shame, abuse, searching for autonomy and confidence
Women exploring internal & external change — transitions, grief, letting go, reclaiming, quarter/mid-life
Creatives & life outside the 9–5 — uncertainty, individuality, artist identity, juggling multiple projects, ideas, or places
Identity & neurodiversity — masking, belonging, self-discovery & expression, late diagnosis
GSRD & queer experience — Gender, Sexuality & Relationship Diversity accredited by Pink Therapy, LGBTQIA+ affirming, late blooming
Specialist Practice…
…and the intersectionality that lives in between
My Approach
I am a present and reflective therapist, sharing what I notice with gentle curiosity, asking questions and offering new angles, as change often begins with new insight and awareness.
When sessions feel stuck or uncomfortable, I stay with you and don't shy away from the difficult, slower or harder places we may find ourselves in. I offer time to discover how your past may be felt in the present, and space for unconscious processes to be better understood.
Alongside this, humour, creativity and joy are also warmly welcome, deepening an essential sense of wholeness and hope. Together, we explore the messy contradictions, the late-night anxieties, and the unspoken desires that might shape how you relate to yourself, others, and the world.
I recognise the profound impact that culture, community and social structures have on our lives. I am deeply committed to social justice, striving to create inclusive spaces where you can feel truly seen.
