I understand that sharing parts of yourself that you usually keep hidden can be daunting, I provide a safe and confidential space in which you can begin to do this.

We all experience times when we feel lost or anxious. Whether you are struggling with the pandemic, or with anxiety, depression or a specific personal issue, doing so alone can be overwhelming. Often having someone to explore your concerns and feelings with can be deeply valuable and clarifying.

I am a down to earth, qualified therapist with professional experience of working in various settings including Bereavement and Higher Education. I have worked successfully with clients aged eighteen to those in their seventies, covering a range of issues.

Above all I believe in building a connection that is respectful and collaborative. I welcome clients from all backgrounds, cultures, gender identities and sexual orientations. If you would like to discuss the possibility of starting therapy but are unsure if it's for you, feel free to call or send an email and I will gladly get back to you. This initial contact will of course be free and with no obligation.

My practice is currently online via video appointments.

My approach is informed by different schools of thought including Psychodynamic, Person-Centred and Transpersonal.

For those who are unfamiliar with those modalities, in simple terms: Psychodynamic draws on symbolism and interpretation to explore the past and the unconscious. Person-Centred is a warm, relational way of working, focusing on the present. While the Transpersonal looks at connection and the idea that we are all part of something bigger. You don’t have to be spiritual or religious to explore this concept as it can relate to themes of community and the wider human experience.

This integrative approach allows me to work in a holistic manner, responding in creative and individual ways depending on what is brought to a session.

I offer an initial consultation at a reduced rate of £40. Here we explore what has brought you to therapy and I can answer any questions you may have. It is through this process that we can find a way forward to support you with your concerns.

If you decide to pursue therapeutic work, your sessions will be at the same time each week. We can agree to a fixed series of sessions, or leave it open for longer term work, according to your needs and preferences.
