about ME

I offer a safe, non-judgemental environment, in which to explore difficult issues. Therapy is tailored to suit your needs, rather than fitting into a method. I seek to create a space where clients feelings and experiences can be explored, through a collaborative process. I feel the quality of the relationship between us is vital for change and transformation. The therapeutic engagement is in part listening, understanding, reflecting, challenging, and working together to unravel thoughts and feelings that can often feel stuck.

As an integrative psychotherapist, I primarily work within a framework that leans towards a relational approach. Grounded in psychodynamic concepts, I am also influenced by attachment theory and body psychotherapy, favouring a person–centred therapeutic style. 

I have had the pleasure of working with enriching clients from various organisations, such as Richmond Borough Mind, The Minster Centre Low Cost Therapy Service and The National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery. I have experience with a wide range of issues that include depression, anxiety, trauma, sexuality, relationship issues, bereavement, identity, eating disorders, disability, neurological conditions, chronic health conditions, child and adult sexual abuse. Since 2016 I have been an Assistant Psychotherapy Skills Tutor for the Foundation Year at The Minster Centre and in 2022 also took the position of Assistant Psychotherapy Skills Tutor for 1st Year.

I welcome what ever issue(s) you may bring to therapy, with this in mind I offer both long and short-term work.
