I typically work with people wrestling with anxiety, despair, anger, and shame; who struggle with guilt, mistrust, addiction, and dissociation; who are self-critical, self-destructive, and who feel trapped in repeated patterns of hurting self and others. Such feelings, behaviours, and patterns of relating often stem from multiple and complex life events and circumstances, including past and present abusive and neglectful relationships, abandonment, bereavement, bullying, trauma, racism, sexism, gender expectations, parenthood, study/work/financial pressures, and more existential challenges such as finding meaning in life.

I offer a warm, nurturing space in which, collaboratively, we can explore and make sense of difficulties you are facing. My training in Counselling Psychology means I am skilled in working integratively, that is using several therapeutic approaches including systemic, internal family systems (IFS), psychodynamic, and existential models, and able to tailor my work to meet your specific situation. Primarily, my style is relational and contextual. I believe that the medicalisation of human suffering is often more harmful than helpful.

I am presently seeing clients online only. Please contact me if you would like more information, by email as I am mostly unavailable by phone.

I offer free initial (scheduled) phone consultations of up to 20 minutes. I have a small number of discounted slots available for people on lower incomes and students.

As part of my affiliation with the Institute of Psychedelic Therapy, I presently offer one-to-one support for people who have had challenging 'psychedelic' (literally meaning 'mind-manifesting') experiences, and/or those planning psychedelic experiences, including for example via Holotropic Breathwork retreats, plant medicine retreats in the Netherlands, and as part of ongoing psychedelic clinical trials in the UK. The aim here is to offer a safe space for people who have had challenging experiences and want to make sense of these, who wish to share meaningful experiences, and/or who wish to learn more about psychedelic experiences, with harm reduction in mind.
