My approach
Making changes to your life is not easy. However, you have taken the first step by seeking therapy. My practice is all about self-discovery and focusing and investing in you.
Inclusivity is at the heart of my practice and I work with a diverse range of clients regardless of your ethnicity, religion, gender, disability or sexual orientation. I work with individuals, couples and those in other relationships, such as parents and their adult children.
Additionally, I support people who are unemployed, students and those who work within social care, healthcare, education, legal, corporate, media and the arts, to address their emotional and behavioural difficulties.
It may be that you are new to therapy or have had therapy in the past. Whatever your background, you will be treated with respect and you will always receive a high quality of care.
If you are struggling, feeling restless, confused, forgetful, overwhelmed or finding it difficult to control your emotions, or suspect that you may be neurodivergent – I will provide an effective and compassionate service which will enable clients to have a better understanding of how they are feeling.
I am passionate about supporting people and will always create a warm, friendly, professional, safe, confidential and non-judgmental space for you to feel at ease to sit and talk through your difficulties at your own pace. This will allow us to explore in the session what has brought you to therapy and how I can help you.
Life can feel like an emotional rollercoaster which affects not only the mind but also the body. You may feel detached from your sense of self and relationships and experience triggers or unhelpful thoughts. I can help you to navigate through this by helping you to become more aware of your emotions and feelings and the physical sensations in your body.
Your journey is unique and I will tailor my approach to meet your needs.
When words are not enough, I can work from a creative and holistic approach (such as mindfulness and therapeutic worksheets). However, I will always work in collaboration with you. We will explore what is important to you which will support your healing and help you to accomplish your goals.
Additionally, I am experienced at working with resistance and those who are feeling stuck and do not know where to start to tell their story. Facing your fears and connecting with what is happening in your life can be a scary experience. Sometimes it can be easier to be kind to others than ourselves. Being compassionate and gentle to yourself and investing in your mental wellbeing is a big step.
I will support you on your journey of reflection to grow and flourish by helping you to recognise your strengths and set healthy boundaries. By exploring different therapeutic interventions (techniques and strategies) during and outside of our sessions, this will help you to gain clarity, acceptance, self-awareness and help to improve your mental health and wellbeing.

Prior to training as a therapist I worked within the corporate legal sector in family law and property and corporate services. I later trained as a parenting facilitator working with families, children and young people with ADHD and autism.
I am passionate about mental health and wellbeing and worked within the NHS for over 15 years within mental health (CAMHS, ADHD adult service, psychosis, dementia and cognitive impairment, personality disorder service, sexual health and acute settings in risk management, patient safety and experience, which involved supporting patients, their families and staff.)
