About me and my therapy practice

Many of us learn early to hide parts of ourselves and carry on, until it stops working. Perhaps a relationship has broken down, someone in your family has pulled away, or you are tired of being who everyone expects you to be. Nothing is wrong with you. Your pain makes sense when we look at what you have lived through. If this is you, I would be glad to hear your story.

Clients describe me as warm, down-to-earth and authentic. My approach is integrative/relational and trauma-informed, drawing on person-centred, psychodynamic and systemic ways of working. We look at how early relationships and family patterns shape you today, and how old hurt lives in the body as well as the mind.

I know the pain of family estrangement and the hope of reconciliation from my own life. If someone close to you has cut you off or ghosted you, if you have lived with narcissistic behaviour, or if you struggle as a parent, I understand.

I bring over 20 years’ experience as a Family Constellations facilitator, one-to-one and in groups, with consistently positive feedback. I have also worked successfully with many neurodiverse clients. My practice is LGBTQ+ and neurodiversity inclusive.

Sessions are 50 minutes and cost £75, in person or online. A free 10 to 15 minute intro call helps us see if we are a good fit. Some lower-cost places are available, so please ask.

Specialist areas: estrangement, ghosting, narcissistic abuse, parenting, family patterns, trauma, relationships, neurodiversity.
