You may be considering therapy for various reasons, be that relationship issues, trauma, bereavement, anxiety, stress, or you may feel stuck and unable to harness your full potential. In all these instances therapy can help to unpack your difficulties and gain a new perspective and clarity on a situation. As an integrative therapist I draw from different psychotherapeutic models, namely psychodynamic, humanistic and somatic approaches. I have 10 years experience in private practice and the NHS secondary care, working with individuals presenting with a broad range of issues from anxiety and depression to more complex mental health issues such as complex PTSD and EUPD. I am also trained in psychosexual and relationship therapy. I work with couples to navigate difficulties such as conflict, emotional and sexual disconnection, poor communication and loss of trust amongst other issues. Psychosexual therapy for couples and individuals can help to address issues such as anxiety around sex, past sexual trauma, low desire, sexual pain or feeling disconnected from your own body or from your partner. I’m not what’s called a “blank screen therapist”; I bring myself to our work, and I engage in a here-and-now dialogue with my clients. I see therapy as a collaborative process and I always encourage honest and open feedback. The strength of the relationship between myself and my clients is central to my practice. It is essential that you feel comfortable with the person you're working with. I nurture my clients trust, and create a non-judgemental, safe, supportive and open-minded space. My work is underpinned by my commitment to diversity and inclusion. I am a neurodivergent affirming therapist, and I welcome clients from all cultures, gender identities, sexualities and relationships types. I also work from a trauma-informed perspective, holding in mind the impact that trauma can have on relationships, emotional regulation and behavioural patterns. I am passionate about peri-natal mental health, and supporting individuals and couples with the huge transition into parenthood. As part of this I offer stand-alone therapy sessions for mothers or birthing people (and partners) who have experienced a traumatic or difficult birth; providing a space to reflect and process their birth experience. More information can be found on my website. Finding the right therapist for you is really important, so if you have any initial questions I am more than happy to have a brief chat on the phone. Following this we would meet for a consultation session. This is an opportunity for you to discuss in more detail what brings you to therapy, and for you to decide whether we can work together.
