I am a BACP and UKCP registered psychotherapist and I provide a compassionate and supportive space for you to explore the difficulties and uncertainties you are facing. These could include bereavement and other life transitions, work stress, unhappy family dynamics, anxiety, depression, trauma or a search for identity and meaning. I have specific experience of working with pregnancy loss, parents seeking support with family life, students in higher education and survivors of sexual violence and domestic abuse.
Prior to becoming a therapist, I worked for many years as an executive coach, helping people to address the stress and unhappiness they were feeling at work or in their career. I saw how growing self-understanding was invaluable in enabling clients to find their own solutions to their troubles. Realising that many difficulties we face as adults are rooted in earlier life experiences led me to train as a therapist.
I work in an integrative way which means that I view you and your experience as unique and think about it with you from different perspectives, using a variety of psychological approaches. I work relationally, which means I focus on forming a strong connection between us which will enable you to understand yourself better as you work on what is troubling you.
