I’m a compassionate, experienced Integrative Psychotherapist, Supervisor and Level 2 qualified IFS Therapist. I work with adults who may be struggling with difficult experiences, relationships, or periods of change, and offer a warm, thoughtful and grounded approach to therapy.
I’ve worked across private practice, education, the workplace, the NHS, adoption and mental health services. These different settings have given me a broad understanding of the many ways people can be affected by what happens to them, both earlier in life and in the present.
I have interests in relationships, attachments, intergenerational trauma, identity, anxiety, shame, low self-worth and life transitions. I offer 1:1, in-depth psychotherapy and draw on a range of approaches, including Humanistic therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), systemic and body-based approaches, and creative arts. I bring these together depending on what feels most useful for you, rather than expecting one approach to fit everyone.
I’ve completed Level 2 training in Internal Family Systems and use IFS as an important part of my work. I find it can be a gentle and powerful way of making sense of the different parts of ourselves — including those that feel anxious, critical, overwhelmed, hurt or protective. Rather than seeing these parts as problems to get rid of, we can become curious about what they are trying to do for us and what they might need.
For me, the relationship we build in therapy is central to the work. I aim to create a space where you can explore what feels important to you, at your own pace, without judgement or pressure.
You might come to therapy with a particular difficulty, or simply a sense that something isn’t quite right. You may be thinking about identity or belonging, relationships, grief, intimacy, sexuality, gender, money or purpose. You might be carrying experiences that feel hard to put into words. Whatever brings you, you don’t need to have it all worked out before we begin.
I offer a calm and accepting place to explore what is going on, at a pace that feels manageable for you. My hope is that, through the work, you can develop a deeper understanding of yourself and find new ways of responding to the things that have been difficult.
