I’m an integrative psychotherapist. I primarily draw on relational psychodynamic and trauma-informed approaches, alongside a broader range of ideas, to understand how and why we feel, think, and relate as we do.

My style is collaborative. I won't give advice or tell you what to do. Instead, we reflect and explore together - making sense of what's happening and figuring out what change might look like for you.

I offer a grounded, steady presence, especially when things feel too much. There's space for the heavy things you’ve never said out loud, the contradictions, the parts that don't make sense yet - without rushing to fix any of it.

We explore with curiosity where something started and why it made sense at the time, as well as how it shows up today. That depth is usually what makes change last, not just symptoms easing.

Your wellbeing isn’t down to you alone - societal norms and power structures play a part, and that’s something we can recognise and navigate together.

The relationships that shape you are always part of the picture - the important ones from your past, how you relate to yourself now, and what happens between us here too. That last part matters as it’s where old patterns can start to be seen, understood & loosen their grip.

Therapy works best when it feels like a good match.

The most important thing is finding someone you feel you can trust and open up to. Research consistently shows that the relationship between therapist and client is the strongest indicator of positive outcomes from therapy - more than any specific technique or approach.

So our first session is a one-off 50 minute consultation where you can share what's on your mind and what you hope to gain from therapy - and I'll give you a sense of how I work. No pressure to commit to more sessions afterwards, just a chance to see if it feels like a good fit.

I hold a few discounted slots for those that need it - just ask when booking.

Payment is taken via an online link.

My therapy room involves a number of stairs and isn't wheelchair accessible - I'm sorry this limits who I can see face to face, but online sessions are always an option and I'm happy to discuss what might work for you.

Before we begin working together, I'll send over a short client agreement covering things like cancellation and confidentiality, so we're both clear on how things work.

My practice is inclusive and welcoming of people from all backgrounds and identities, including those who identify as LGBTQ+.

I deeply respect the individual beliefs and values of my clients, including their spirituality.

I'm aware that I hold power and privilege in some ways and less in others, and that this is part of any relationship, including ours. I try to stay alert to this rather than assume it doesn't matter - my hope is that questions of identity and power can be openly explored together when they come up. This is part of what it means to me to strive for an anti-oppressive practice.

I’m supported in ongoing supervision by a qualified supervisor to make sure I’m as effective and ethical as I can be in my clinical work.

I'm a qualified adult psychotherapist with an MSc and Postgraduate Diploma in Integrative Psychotherapy from Metanoia Institute.

I'm a registered member of UKCP and BACP and adhere to their professional & ethical standards.
