About me
I offer a calm, supportive space where you can talk about what's troubling you at your own pace. People often come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, stuck or unsure why they're feeling the way they do. Together, we explore what's happening for you now but also what may have shaped your experiences in the past. My approach is grounded in psychodynamic therapy, which means I pay attention to the unconscious influences behind how we feel and relate to others. I also draw on body-based and energy-informed methods, which can be particularly helpful when working with trauma, anxiety or stuck patterns that might not respond to talking therapy alone. These might include simple self-administered grounding methods, breath work or visualisations, always introduced when and if appropriate for you. Over the course of your therapy we will work collaboratively to consider patterns in relationships or situations that may be unhelpful to you and how you might approach things differently. I work alongside you, not to fix you, but to build your emotional resilience, sense of capability and inner equilibrium.

Training and qualifications
I started my training at the Counselling Foundation, St Albans, went on to study Philosophy and Psychotherapy with The Philadelphia Association, London, and gained my Post-Graduate Diploma in Psychodynamic Psychotherapy at WPF Therapy, one of the UK's leading psychodynamic and psychoanalytical training bodies, in affiliation with Roehampton University. My work is also shaped by specialist training in Trauma Sensitive Yoga with The Centre for Trauma and Embodiment, Boston, a pioneering organisation in the integration of body-based practices for trauma work. I also incorporate other gentle, body-based techniques in my work, using well-established methods such as Emotional Freedom Technique and guided visualisation. These techniques can be particularly helpful when working with trauma, anxiety or stuck patterns that might not respond to talking therapy alone.
