With 8+ years of mental health experience in the public and private sectors, I specialise in supporting young adults (ages 18-39).  I am currently accepting new remote clients, with availability during weekday afternoons and evenings (GMT).  All sessions are held on Zoom video call, with the option of short-term or long-term open-ended therapy. 

With 8+ years of mental health experience in the public and private sectors, I specialise in supporting young adults (ages 18-39) experiencing Anxiety, Depression, low self-esteem, identity challenges, relationship struggles and food-related difficulties.

My practice is rooted in the belief that healing occurs through a balance of creative expression, physical movement, mindful nourishment, and interpersonal relationships. Within our therapy, we may explore opportunities for repairable experiences, emotional regulation, and work on practical tools that best support you. My collaborative approach prioritises fostering lasting growth and well-being by cultivating mindfulness, compassion, and connection. By employ a creative, adaptive, and holistic approach to mental health, addressing not just an individual's symptoms, but ones overall quality of life.

Operating within an anti-oppressive, LGBTQIA+ affirming, and intersectional framework, I am devoted to fostering a secure, compassionate, and inquisitive environment where individuals feel empowered to explore their inner lives and cultivate a deeper understanding of their interpersonal connections and place in the world. Having personally experienced the profound impact of therapy, I dedicate myself to providing that same space for others. I believe my role as a therapist is to provide individuals with the things they need in order to thrive.

My way of working focuses on understanding and meeting your specific individual circumstances and needs. As an Integrative Psychotherapist, I draw upon a diverse toolkit of evidence-based approaches including Person-centred, Gestalt and Relational Psychodynamic frameworks in order to provide personalised care aligned with your specific goals and requirements.

My practice is grounded in a Bachelor of Science in Psychology, which provides a rigorous scientific foundation in our behaviour and cognitive processes. I hold a Post-Graduate Distinction Diploma in Psychotherapy and Counselling, with my training including two awarded certificates in therapeutic skills and studies. I am also a qualified Integrative Nutritional Health Coach. which allows me to incorporate the biopsychosocial model of health, addressing how nutrition and lifestyle factors influence neurochemistry and emotional regulation. My approach is rooted in the belief that healing occurs through a balance of creative expression, physical movement, mindful nourishment and interpersonal relationships. 

I have specific experience within both the private and public sector working long-term with adults navigating anxiety, depression, self-esteem / identity challenges, trauma, neuro-diversity, substance misuse and food related difficulties.

I offer an optional complimentary 20-minute introductory consultation prior to booking an initial session. While this conversation does not constitute a formal therapy session, it serves as a valuable opportunity for us to explore your goals and for you to get a sense if my approach is the right fit for your current specific needs. It is important to select a therapist who resonates with you. 

Within our initial session, we will collaboratively explore our therapeutic agreement. During this process, I will share things such as privacy rules, cancellation policies and provide time for you to ask any questions. At your own pace, we will explore what brings you here, this may include thinking about symptoms, personal histories, and current support systems. It is common to feel nervous, awkward, or even blank when first meeting a new therapist. I hold this in mind, seeking to offer a gentle and supportive space, ensuring you feel safe as we look into your current challenges together.
