About Me

I am a qualified integrative psychotherapist working with adults (18+), offering relational, trauma-informed therapy for those who are ready to explore their story, understand what may be keeping them stuck, and move forward with greater clarity and choice.

My style is warm, empathic, and gently challenging. I aim to support you in developing and drawing on your own inner resources to manage the difficulties that have brought you to therapy, while also working collaboratively to explore underlying patterns or roles you may find yourself repeating, which may be getting in the way of a richer, more fulfilling life.

My Approach

Many of the ways we move through the world are shaped by early experiences, relationships, and the need to adapt in order to cope or belong. Over time, these patterns can leave us feeling disconnected from ourselves or stuck in ways that no longer serve us.

I offer a supportive and compassionate space to pause, reflect, and look inward with curiosity. Therapy can provide a window into yourself — helping you understand not only what is happening, but why — creating greater freedom, choice, and authenticity in the present.

This work goes beyond conversation alone. I take a holistic approach, paying attention to your full experience — thoughts, emotions, body responses, and the deeper patterns that shape how you relate to yourself and others. You do not need to have everything figured out before coming to therapy; what matters most is your willingness to show up, reflect, and explore. I am trained in a range of psychotherapeutic approaches, which allows me to tailor my way of working to your individual needs. These include psychodynamic, attachment-based, humanistic, cognitive and neuroscientific approaches, as well as Gestalt and Internal Family Systems (IFS).

Experience

I hold an MA in Integrative Psychotherapy and Counselling and have completed specialist training in trauma-informed and somatic approaches. My training also includes working with neurodivergent individuals, including those with ADHD and ASD, as well as with unhealthy or emotionally harmful relationship patterns — including narcissistic and abusive dynamics.

I have supported adults from diverse and cross-cultural backgrounds and have a particular clinical interest in complex trauma, relational patterns, and neurodiversity.I have experience working across a wide range of emotional and life challenges, including anxiety, depression, trauma, abuse, addiction, and relationship difficulties, through roles within the NHS and mental health charities.

Before becoming a therapist, I worked in the corporate world across both America and Europe — in the finance and charity sectors — and later spent time as a stay-at-home mother. These varied experiences have enriched my empathy, broadened my perspective, and deepened my understanding of the complex stories clients bring to therapy.
