I am an integrative therapist working with both individuals and couples, grounded in a person-centred foundation. My approach is collaborative, relational and responsive to the unique experiences each person brings. Rather than applying a single model, I draw from a range of therapeutic perspectives to support the work in a way that feels meaningful and relevant to you.

At the heart of my practice is the belief that people hold an innate capacity for growth, healing and self-understanding. Therapy offers a space to explore this safely, at your pace, and in a way that honours your lived experience.

I integrate psychoanalytic thinking, attachment-focused work and experiential approaches to help make sense of patterns, emotions and relational dynamics. This includes exploring early attachment experiences and identity formation, and how these continue to shape self-esteem, relationships and ways of coping in the present.

A core focus of my work is attachment and self-identity. I support people in understanding how they relate to themselves and others, how patterns have formed, and how change becomes possible through awareness, reflection and new relational experiences.

I work with a wide range of issues and presentations. Rather than focusing on labels or diagnosis, I focus on the person — their story, context and meaning. Therapy is not about fitting into a category, but about understanding what has happened, how it has impacted you, and what feels possible moving forward.

The aim of the work is not simply insight, but a deeper sense of self, greater emotional awareness and a more secure, authentic way of relating — both internally and within relationships.

Starting therapy can feel like a big step, so it’s important that you know what working with me is like.

I offer a warm, grounded and non-judgemental space where you can speak openly and be met with respect and care. Sessions move at your pace. There is no pressure to share anything before you feel ready, and we work together to understand what feels most important for you.

Our work is conversational and collaborative. You won’t be analysed or told what to do, but you also won’t be left alone with things. I stay actively engaged, helping you notice patterns, reflect on experiences and make sense of what you may be feeling or carrying.

At times we may explore present-day challenges; at others, we may look at earlier experiences and relationships that continue to shape how you see yourself and connect with others. I will gently support you in making links where they feel helpful, always checking that the pace and direction feel right for you.

For couples, the focus is on understanding relational dynamics, communication patterns and emotional needs on both sides. The aim is not to take sides, but to help create clarity, understanding and new ways of relating.

You can expect consistency, confidentiality and a steady therapeutic relationship. I will be honest, thoughtful and attuned, and I welcome feedback so the work feels useful and supportive.

Where appropriate, I may offer practical tools to support emotional regulation, communication and self-awareness outside of sessions. Therapy is not just about talking; it is about helping change feel possible in your everyday life.

Above all, you can expect to be met as a person — not a label, not a problem to fix, but someone whose experiences, relationships and identity matter.

The first session is an opportunity for us to understand what brings you to therapy and what you hope to gain from the work. It also allows you to get a sense of how I work and whether it feels like the right fit for you.

For individual therapy, the introductory session is usually sufficient to begin understanding your needs, background and goals for the work. From there, we move into ongoing sessions at your pace, without the need for a formal assessment process.

Individual therapy sessions are 50 minutes.

Fee: £60 per session.

For couples, the initial session is 90 minutes and is used to gain a fuller understanding of the relationship, the difficulties you’re experiencing and what each of you hopes for from therapy. This helps us begin shaping a shared direction for the work.

Initial couples session (90 minutes): £150

Ongoing couples sessions (60 minutes): £80 per session.

I may ask gentle background questions in the first session to understand your history, relationships and current circumstances, but there is no requirement to complete formal assessments prior to starting therapy.

Please feel free to contact me via text or email to enquire about my current availability or to arrange a free introductory session.

I aim to respond within 24–48 hours.

Thank you.

I offer clinical supervision to therapists and helping professionals within a reflective, collaborative and professionally containing space. My approach is grounded in a person-centred foundation and informed by integrative, attachment-aware and relational thinking.

My supervision practice is guided by Hawkins & Shohet’s 7-Eyed Model of Supervision, a structured and relational framework that allows us to consider the work from multiple interconnected perspectives. This includes attention to the client, the interventions used, the therapeutic relationship, the therapist’s internal experience, the supervisory relationship itself, and the wider systemic and organisational context.

Using this model supports depth, clarity and ethical awareness. It encourages us not only to focus on “what the client is presenting,” but also to explore relational dynamics, attachment patterns, transference and countertransference, and how your own professional identity and personal history may intersect with the work.

Supervision with me is not solely about case management or oversight. It is a space for thoughtful reflection, professional development and sustained self-awareness. I integrate psychoanalytic thinking and experiential reflection alongside practical and ethical considerations, aiming to offer both containment and constructive challenge.

I see supervision as essential to developing clinical confidence, safeguarding good practice and strengthening your professional voice. It is a space where uncertainty can be explored safely, insight can deepen and growth can be ongoing.

Supervision sessions are 90 minutes, allowing enough time for thoughtful reflection, depth and meaningful exploration of your clinical work without feeling rushed.

Sessions are a space to bring what feels most relevant — client work, relational dynamics, ethical questions, uncertainty, professional development or the emotional impact of the work. We move at a pace that feels supportive while still allowing room for gentle challenge and growth.

Using Hawkins & Shohet’s 7-Eyed Model, we may explore different layers of the work, including what is happening for the client, within the therapeutic relationship, in your own internal responses, and within the wider professional or organisational context. This helps build clarity, confidence and reflective capacity in practice.

Supervision is not about judgement or evaluation. It is a collaborative, respectful space where you can think openly, feel supported and develop your clinical voice. Alongside reflective discussion, there is attention to ethical practice, safeguarding and professional responsibility.

You can expect consistency, containment and honest dialogue. My role is to support you in deepening your understanding, strengthening your practice and sustaining yourself in the work you do.

I offer a free introductory session as an opportunity for us to meet and explore whether we feel like a good fit to work together.

During this session, I will share information about my qualifications, training and professional experience, as well as the supervision framework I work within. It is also an opportunity for you to tell me about your current role, experience, modality and what you are looking for from supervision.

We can explore what you need from me as a supervisor — whether that is more reflective depth, structured case discussion, ethical guidance, confidence-building, or support with professional identity. This helps ensure that the supervisory relationship is aligned, collaborative and purposeful from the outset.

The introductory session is informal, open and without obligation. It is simply a space to ask questions, clarify expectations and consider whether working together feels right for you.
