About me and my therapy practice

I am a qualified supervisor, integrative psychotherapist and counselling educator, with over a decade of therapeutic experience and a background in teaching counselling and psychotherapy in higher education.

My approach to supervision is broadly humanistic, relational and reflective. I see supervision as a space for thinking deeply about our work, developing clinical understanding and attending to the complexity of the therapeutic relationship.

I am interested in what happens both within and beyond the counselling room: the experiences and patterns clients bring, the relationships and systems they are part of, and the ways our own histories, feelings and assumptions influence our practice.

I value curiosity, openness and thoughtful challenge. I aim to offer a supportive space where you can bring uncertainty, difficult clinical material, ethical dilemmas and aspects of your work that may feel harder to articulate.

My clinical interests include trauma, attachment, relational and intergenerational patterns, embodied experience, identity, transitions and the wider social and cultural contexts of people's lives. These perspectives inform my supervisory thinking while remaining responsive to your own theoretical orientation and professional development.

Practice description

I offer clinical supervision to trainee and qualified counsellors and psychotherapists who want a thoughtful, collaborative space to reflect on their practice and continue developing professionally.

Supervision provides an opportunity to explore client work, therapeutic relationships, clinical decisions, ethical questions and the emotional impact of the work we do. We can look beyond presenting issues to consider relational patterns, attachment, wider systems and the influence of personal and professional contexts.

I welcome practitioners who want to deepen their clinical thinking, develop confidence in their therapeutic judgement and remain curious about their work. Whether you are navigating the challenges of training, establishing your professional identity or bringing many years of experience, supervision can offer both support and constructive challenge.

My aim is to provide a consistent reflective space that supports ethical, considered and sustainable practice, while recognising the person behind the practitioner.

My first session

Our first meeting is an opportunity to get to know one another, discuss your experience and training, and explore what you are looking for from supervision.

We can talk about your current or anticipated client work, your theoretical approach, professional responsibilities and any particular areas you would like supervision to support. It is also an opportunity for you to ask questions and get a sense of how I work.

I place importance on establishing a good supervisory relationship, where there is room for openness, reflection and appropriate challenge. We can discuss expectations, practical arrangements and whether working together feels like the right fit.

About me and my therapy practice

Perhaps you have spent a long time trying to understand yourself, your experiences and relationships, yet still find yourself caught in familiar patterns. You may understand why things happen as they do, but struggle to find a way beyond them. Or perhaps life has shifted and the person you have been no longer quite fits.

I am an integrative psychotherapist with over a decade of experience. My approach is broadly humanistic and experiential, with a particular interest in the whole person and the experiences that shape us. This includes early relationships and attachment, family and intergenerational patterns, our emotional and physical experiences, and the wider social, cultural and natural environments in which we live.

In our work together, there is space for talking and reflection, but also for paying attention to what is happening beneath the surface. We might explore emotional and bodily responses, experiences that are difficult to put into words, or patterns that continue to shape how you relate to yourself and others. I am particularly interested in the difference between understanding something intellectually and experiencing meaningful change.

My early counselling career involved supporting young people affected by significant trauma, childhood sexual abuse and involvement with the youth justice system. This continues to inform my understanding of how we adapt to difficult experiences, and how ways of coping that once protected us can become restrictive over time.

I see therapy as a collaborative process, not about fixing or changing who you are, but creating space for greater understanding, connection and integration. My aim is to support you in reconnecting with parts of yourself and moving towards a fuller sense of wholeness.

Alongside my therapeutic practice, I teach counselling and psychotherapy in higher education and work as a qualified clinical supervisor.

Practice description

I offer individual psychotherapy for adults navigating emotional difficulties, relationship challenges and significant periods of change. People come to my practice for many different reasons, including anxiety, trauma, grief, loss, relationship difficulties, burnout, questions of identity and a sense of feeling stuck or disconnected from themselves.

You might be struggling with something happening in your life now, trying to make sense of experiences from the past, or noticing familiar difficulties repeating themselves in your relationships. You may be facing a transition in your life, questioning your direction or finding that the roles and identities you have held no longer feel right.

I have a particular interest in working with people at these in-between points in life, when something needs to change but the way forward is not yet clear. This might follow a relationship ending, a bereavement, becoming a parent, changes in health or work, or a growing awareness that you want something different from life.

I offer longer-term psychotherapy, usually through 90-minute sessions, allowing space to explore difficulties at a depth and pace that suits you. I also offer clinical supervision for counsellors, psychotherapists and other helping professionals, providing a space for reflection, exploration of clinical work and ongoing professional development.

My first session

I place importance on taking time to understand your experiences and the wider context of your life. This means our early sessions often involve exploring your personal history, relationships and significant life experiences, alongside what has brought you to therapy now. Having this fuller picture helps us develop a shared understanding of what may be happening and where the work might take us.

There is no set formula for this process. We work at a pace that feels comfortable, with space to establish a good therapeutic relationship and consider whether working together feels right for both of us.

My work is generally longer-term, allowing time to explore patterns and experiences in greater depth and for change to develop over time. Where this feels appropriate, we can agree an ongoing arrangement that provides a consistent, regular space for our work. I can also offer shorter-term therapy where this better meets your needs.

Throughout, we remain attentive to whether the work feels useful, relevant and right for you.
