About me

Therapy can feel like a big step — even working out where to start is hard.

Therapy can feel like a big step — even working out where to start is hard. I help adults make sense of anxiety, low mood, and the kind of stress that doesn't ease up when life gets quieter. Over the past few years I've worked with people through career transitions, relationship difficulties, and the long tail of childhood experiences. My training spans both private practice and the NHS, so I've seen the full range of what people bring through the door. You don't need to have everything figured out before we start. What matters more is that we find a way of working that feels right for you — collaborative, honest, and at your own pace. I offer sessions online and in person.

Approach

I'm an integrative therapist, which means I draw on different approaches depending on what fits the moment and the person in front of me. The work tends to mix psychodynamic — looking at how earlier patterns shape current ones — with CBT, where we work practically with the thoughts and behaviours getting in your way. I think of therapy as a relationship more than a technique. The most useful sessions tend to be the ones where you feel safe enough to be honest, including about therapy itself. I'll check in regularly on what's working, what isn't, and we'll adjust as we go.
