About me and my therapy practice

I work as a Dynamic interpersonal (DIT) and Integrative therapist, with people who are looking for a space for reflection, exploration and change.

The people I work with are often interested in trying to understand themselves at a deeper level. Many clients are seeking to make sense of something in their lives. I offer the space to work at depth, and take a closer look at what is causing you distress in order to bring about sustainable change.

I have an interest in supporting others to build an understanding of their unconscious relationship patterns and limiting self beliefs. I offer a therapeutic relationship that facilitates the exploration of how life's difficulties have come to shape how you relate to yourself, others and the world around you in ways that impede on your life.

You may feel stuck in recurring relationship patterns and problematic dynamics. You might have a sense of feeling adrift, disconnected from your true self or finding life hard to navigate. You may feel held back in life or unable to move forward in meaningful ways. 



Practice description

My approach is thoughtful, compassionate and collaborative. The process of therapy allows space for your past and present experiences to be heard, felt and understood. With an emphasis on building internal resources and emotional capacity. 

I provide a safe setting for therapy where together we can examine and explore issues carefully, without judgement or avoidance. Over time, clarity can emerge and this helps to build understanding, insight and new possibilities moving forward. 

I work from a trauma-informed perspective, with 5 years professional experience as a qualified Counsellor and DIT Therapist. Working with adults from diverse backgrounds across the NHS and charity sector. I ensure that the therapeutic support that my clients receive is safe, respectful and sustaining.

At times, therapy can feel challenging as part of the process of contemplating life's challenges. However, it is often a deeply rewarding and worthwhile process when the time feels right. I provide a warm and empathic space for you to explore and express yourself safely and at a pace that feels right for you.

I graduated as a Therapeutic Counsellor (Integrative approach) in 2021 with Leeds Beckett University.

In addition, I graduated as a Dynamic Interpersonal Therapist with The Anna Freud Centre in 2023. I gained accreditation status in 2024. DIT is a NICE guidelines approved Psychodynamic NHS Talking Therapy.
