About me and my therapy practice
I am a qualified counsellor, psychotherapist and mental health occupational therapist. I have over twenty years experience of working with clients and their mental health.
Currently, I work in the NHS and also have a private practice. Furthermore, I have experience working in education, the charitable sector and beyond. That breadth means I bring a wide, grounded perspective to each person I sit with.
Practice description
I work with adults on a one-to-one basis. I draw mainly upon psychodynamic, Gestalt and Person-centred modalities and weave in other theories and interventions such as mindfulness, somatic and body-based work, and CBT where helpful. This means our work together is shaped around you — your history, your patterns, your pace. Rather than offering a fixed formula, I bring curiosity and warmth to each session, helping you to understand yourself more deeply and find your own way forward. If it appeals to you, we can also take our sessions outside or bring in creativity, because healing doesn't have to happen in a room.
I am non-judgemental, LGBTQ+, neuro affirming and trauma informed and I welcome people of all backgrounds and identities.
My first session
I offer a free 15 minutes telephone call for you to get to know me a bit better and for me to understand what is bringing you therapy.
From there, if you would like to, we can schedule our first session.
Please make contact using the form, email or telephone
