About me and my therapy practice

I am a compassionate and friendly therapist who will support you to explore whatever challenges you may be experiencing. I work with clients affected by a wide range of difficulties. However, I have a particular interest and experience of working with narcissism (particularly, experiences of narcissistic parents), attachment styles and how these impact our relationships in adult life (e.g. repeated relationship patterns, relational trauma, anxiety, fear of abandonment, boundaries) and working with creativity in a therapeutic context.

Our experiences in life can sometimes feel overwhelming and we can also feel a sense of being stuck and unable to move forward. It can be challenging to deal with these feelings alone or to confide in those closest to us. I can provide you with a confidential, respectful and supportive space to explore, understand and process your feelings.
