ONLINE SESSIONS

Therapist specialising in attachment and IFS-informed work.

Therapy isn’t about fixing you—you’re not broken. It’s about understanding how your past experiences shape your relationship with yourself and others and gaining tools for present-day challenges.

Many people I work with seek support for difficulties in adult life that connect back to early relationships with parents or other caregivers.

My approach

My approach combines attachment theory with insights from the Internal Family Systems (IFS) model, which I integrate as an IFS-informed therapist. While I am not a trained IFS practitioner, I have found that aspects of this model — particularly its focus on inner harmony and self-acceptance — can be transformative for clients. IFS views us as having different “parts” of ourselves, some of which may hold old wounds or protective roles that shape our responses.

By blending attachment-based exploration with IFS-informed techniques, I offer a warm, non-pathologising approach. Together, we can explore early experiences, understand the roles of these inner parts, and find ways to support healthier self-relationships and interactions with others.

Attachment-based counselling and psychotherapy for individuals, online.

Having been in therapy myself, where I often felt understood but still wondered, “Is that all there is?”, I’ve come to realise that I am driven not only to help clients process deep emotions but to also support meaningful, sustainable change.

Since qualifying as an integrative counsellor, I’ve continued to deepen my skills, training further with a postgraduate diploma in psychodynamic principles.

It was during this journey that I became increasingly captivated by Attachment theory, which beautifully explains why so many adults internally sense a fundamental lack, often seeking to fulfil it through relationships, career achievements, material possessions, food, alcohol, substances, and so on.

Building on this understanding, I later found Internal Family Systems (IFS) to be a valuable, game-changing addition for working with clients’ inner conflicts.

Qualifications & Training

• PgDip in Psychodynamic Psychotherapy – Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust, London

• Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling – CPCAB, UK

• Specialised training supporting survivors of sexual violence

• BACP registered member
