I have some availability; please enquire for further details.

Holding it all together. Never switching off. Putting everyone else first. A drink or something else to take the edge off. You learned these strategies for a reason and now they probably no longer work.

​You might notice it in relationships, in intimacy, at work, in feeling numb or disconnected, or in a growing sense that this is not the life you were meant to have.

I specialise in addiction, codependency and the other ways people learn to cope, and in what drives them. They’re usually solutions to something older: early relationships that asked you to be someone you weren’t, or a sense that you were only accepted if you behaved ‘properly’. The anxiety, low mood, overthinking, feeling stuck or burnt out come from the same place and rarely shift without the deeper work.

I came to this work through my own recovery from addiction and years of my own therapy.

I work with all neurotypes. If you’re autistic, have ADHD, or recognise those characteristics without a diagnosis, I’ll adapt how sessions run to suit how you think and process.

What to expect

I'm an integrative therapist, which means I tailor our work to your needs and personality. This may involve developing emotional awareness and grounding, exploring how past relationships influence your sense of self, noticing patterns affecting confidence, and using creative or experiential approaches where words feel insufficient.

How therapy helps

Most people arrive able to explain their own patterns and still stuck inside them. The change people notice is not more insight, but doing something different with the old impulses.

Coaching option

I also offer life coaching. The two are distinct: therapy focuses on understanding, healing and emotional change, while coaching is more future-focused. Some clients choose coaching after therapy.

Ways to work with me

In person in Tonbridge (Kent), Clapham (London) and online.

Healing and growth occur through relationship. Within a secure therapeutic collaboration, people can deepen their connection with themselves and others, and develop greater self-trust and confidence.

My practice is grounded in the humanistic, person-centred tradition, which holds that people have a natural tendency towards growth and wellbeing when the right conditions are present.

Whatever challenges you're facing, I offer a comfortable, confidential space that's safe and non-judgemental. Empathy, realness and unconditional respect form the bedrock of my work.

As an integrative therapist I build on those foundations by drawing on a range of approaches, including psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioural, humanistic and creative methods, tailored to your circumstances, experiences and needs at a particular point in time.

This may involve exploring how early relationships continue to influence your life today, noticing patterns of thought and behaviour in the present, or using creative and experiential techniques such as visualisation or artwork.

Our work is always shaped collaboratively, with your preferences, pace and personality in mind, including how you think and process if you're neurodivergent.

I'll ask you to complete a client information form before or at commencement of therapy with details such as mental health history, reasons and goals for therapy, etc.

We'll discuss this in our first session to get really clear about your goals for therapy. We'll also discuss the therapy contract and expected boundaries that will help us to maintain an effective and professional therapeutic alliance.

Starting therapy can seem scary or even overwhelming, but the rewards can be great if you take that risk. I will help you feel safe and secure as you work at your pace to figure out what is best for you and what you would like to address.

I recommend an initial minimum of 6 sessions to allow our work to evolve. After that it is easier for you to make an informed decision about whether or not you wish to continue therapy. If you continue beyond the first six sessions the period over which we work becomes open ended until we end by agreement.

I have some availability at the moment; please enquire for details.
