About me and my therapy practice

Are you and your partner feeling stuck, disconnected, or uncertain about the future of your relationship? As a qualified couples psychotherapist with a BA (Hons) in Integrative Psychotherapy and a member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP), I am here to help you navigate these challenges with care, insight, and professionalism.

Relationships are complex, and every couple’s journey is unique. My role is to provide a warm, inclusive, and non-judgmental space where we can explore your needs and goals. Whether you’re seeking to strengthen your connection, resolve conflicts, or consider a respectful separation, I will guide you toward the right outcome for your relationship.

Drawing on evidence-based approaches, including Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and systemic techniques, I tailor sessions to your specific circumstances. My integrative approach ensures that therapy is flexible and responsive, addressing your individual and shared needs with empathy and expertise.

Practice description

As a BACP member, I adhere to the highest professional and ethical standards, offering therapy grounded in trust, respect, and confidentiality. I have experience supporting couples from diverse backgrounds—including LGBTQ+ and non-traditional partnerships. I bring cultural sensitivity and a deep commitment to fostering understanding and growth.

Therapy isn’t just about staying together at all costs—it’s about creating clarity, improving communication, and empowering you to make decisions that reflect your values and priorities. Whatever your relationship’s future holds, I’m here to help you navigate it with confidence and compassion.

Taking the first step toward therapy can feel daunting, but it’s also an act of courage and care. Reach out today to book a consultation, and let’s work together to create the clarity and connection you deserve.

My first session

Typically I would do an initial 30-minute consult with couples who are considering working with me (either online or in person); the purpose of the session is to talk you through my approach and experience, as well as give you the opportunity to ask me any questions you may have. It's really important that you work with someone you feel is the right fit for you.

Should we progress to therapy, our first session will be all about getting to know you better and getting a better understanding of what your goals for therapy are. We'll explore the issues and decide on the best way forward.

About me and my therapy practice

I am a BACP Registered Psychotherapist with an honours degree in integrative counselling and psychotherapy. I have many years of private practice experience, working with clients face-to-face, as well as online.

I offer short-term and long-term counselling and psychotherapy to individuals and couples with a wide range of presenting issues.

My training covers a variety of approaches and modalities, and I utilize whatever is needed to best support my client. I have experience in humanistic methods, including person-centred and existential. I've also trained in Cognitive Behaviour therapy which can be very useful for shorter term work.

I draw from a broad range of theories and methods to provide tailored support that is bespoke to each client.

The work we do together has to be as unique as you are.


Practice description

I use an integrative approach in my work with clients. This means I  combine different treatment approaches, depending on the unique needs of the person I am working with. I have a special interest in utilizing a humanistic approach, but also regularly use elements of Internal Family Systems (IFS) in the work; this relies on the concept that we are all made up of various parts that interact and support us.

The humanistic approach is important for me as I believe that psychotherapists should have a strong awareness of issues of equality, diversity, and inclusion as they work with clients. I keep this awareness front of mind when working with issues of gender, race, sexuality, social class, age, ability, etc. We are all unique, with unique stories and experiences, and our psychotherapy should support that.

I work with adults who are experiencing a wide variety of issues including anxiety, depression, self-esteem challenges, stress, sexuality, gender identity, loss and grief, suicidality, and self-harm.

I frequently work with people who find themselves experiencing anxiety and depression, however, have not had the support or skills provided to them to explore these topics openly.

I have a particular interest in working with minority groups who wish to explore how their lived experience has impacted their mental health, realizing that often just being part of a minority group can be enough to cause anxiety. The world can be difficult, and I believe in creating a safe environment where all people can explore their inner landscape.

My first session

It can be daunting reaching out to a therapist for the first time, but it needn't be stressful. My goal is to make you feel at ease and supported.

Our first session will be 30 mins so we can have a brief chat about what you need and how I can best support you. The first chat is free, either on the phone, or online, and then we can agree on the next steps.

We'll chat a little bit about you and your current situation, as well as your expectations of our work together. 

We won't dig into any topics really in our first chat, it's more about making sure I'm a good fit to support you, and that you're comfortable to go ahead to a full session.

I work in line with the BACP, British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, guidelines for good practice in Psychotherapy and Counselling.
