About me

I possess a wealth of life experience and a strong desire to empower others. I have a background in the financial and creative industries; thus, I have an in-depth understanding of the specific challenges faced by individuals working in those fields. I specialise in helping individuals and couples navigate a wide range of concerns, including: depression, anxiety, stress, burnout; trauma; relationship concerns; family dynamics and attachment issues; as well as ADHD and Autism (ASD) - I have a particular interest in collaborating with clients who are neurodiverse and offer support to individuals facing challenges such as workplace struggles, relationship difficulties and the grief associated with late diagnosis. As an experienced UKCP accredited psychotherapist, my practice is grounded by my comprehensive understanding of intersectionality and my commitment to creating a safe, confidential, secure, and non-judgemental environment where you are able to freely explore your behaviours, thoughts and feelings safely, and at a pace that feels right for you.  I am an integrative psychotherapist which means I combine various schools of psychotherapy to address my clients specific needs. I frequently employ elements of Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Therapy (AEDT) in my work. This approach distils the most effective elements of psychodynamic therapy into a more targeted strategy to promote transformation, it emphasises our conscious and unconscious interactions with ourselves and others with an emphasis on the experiential – because just talking about things is not enough: there must be deeper embodiment of change that comes through feeling differently. This is a relatively directive approach, which means the therapist does not take a passive role and is actively engaged and collaborates in the process. My approach though is integrative, and I often employ other modalities such as Internal Family Systems (IFS) working with clients distinct ‘parts’, as well as sensorimotor practices, ACT, Mindfulness, and Gestalt chair work. The quality of our therapeutic relationship is a key element in this process as I invite you to consider new perspectives, and potentially new ways of being by creating space for inner experience. This process enables us to trust in our own inner guidance, promoting self-awareness and self-acceptance - essential elements for growth and any transformative healing process!
