Online availability for new clients

I’m a fully qualified BACP-registered psychotherapist with over 10 years of experience helping individuals explore, heal, and move forward into fulfilling, authentic lives.

You may be exploring therapy for a variety of reasons - perhaps you’re facing uncertainty about your next steps in life or navigating a challenging experience. Therapy offers a space to reflect, gain clarity, and work toward meaningful change. Whether you’re dealing with something specific or simply looking to understand yourself better, I provide a supportive, professional environment tailored to your needs.

Over the years, I’ve worked with a diverse range of clients, from teenagers navigating academic pressures to individuals in their 80s reflecting on life transitions. My practice supports people through challenges such as:

• Grief, including the profound loss of a child

• Trauma, including experiences of rape, child abuse, and narcissistic relationships

• Complex PTSD and cumulative trauma

• Anxiety and eating disorders

• Mental health diagnoses, such as bipolar disorder

• Attachment difficulties and relational challenges

• Neurodiversity, including ADHD and autism diagnoses

• Career uncertainty or struggles with academic pressures, including A-levels

• Divorce and navigating significant life changes

I’ve also supported highly sensitive individuals and those who may not know why they’re struggling, walking alongside them to uncover and address the root causes of their challenges.

As a trauma-informed therapist with integrative training, I draw on a range of approaches to meet your needs. This includes psychodynamic principles, inner child healing, and somatic awareness, combined with insights from neuroscience and consciousness studies. My approach is collaborative and deeply client-centered, ensuring that we work together to create a process that feels right for you.

I offer a complimentary brief call or zoom of around 20 minutes ahead of potentially booking your first session - which can be seen as a trial session to assess at more depth suitability on both our sides (standard fees apply for this session).

In your initial session, the experience will vary depending on whether you’ve had therapy before. Therapy is different from typical social interactions; it doesn’t follow the usual social norms where both parties share about themselves. Instead, I focus entirely on you. I’ll introduce the structure of our therapy sessions, explaining that they are client-led. You’ll often start the sessions, directing the conversation, while I hold the expertise to guide and facilitate the process. This approach ensures that we create a therapeutic alliance that is tuned to your needs, fostering a safe and productive environment.

Session Duration and Frequency

The duration and frequency of therapy sessions can vary greatly depending on your individual needs and goals. A standard therapy session lasts 50 minutes, often referred to as a therapy hour. For some clients, therapy may be a long-term, deeply fulfilling journey that spans years, allowing for profound exploration and growth. For others, therapy might be a more focused, time-limited process aimed at addressing specific issues. There is no one-size-fits-all approach; the length and frequency of our work together are determined by what is in your best interest, your intentions, and how deeply you wish to explore your inner world. We will regularly discuss and reassess your needs and goals to ensure that our work remains aligned with your personal journey.
