I am a fully registered Integrative therapist with COSRT. I am Integrative and draw on Systemic and Psychodynamic approaches. I provide clients all over the UK with a wide range of therapeutic services both online and face-to-face. I am a qualified relationship, individual and family therapist. I have 20 years experience working with young people and 3 years working therapeutically with adults, relationships and young people.
I have experience of working with anxiety, depression, bereavement, self-harm/suicidal feelings, neurodiversity, sex/sexuality, identity, fertility, emotional-based school refusal, abusive relationships and communication issues.
My goal is to help you understand yourself and your relationships and better communicate your needs.

Individual Therapy
Client-centred therapy
If you’re looking for quality Individual Therapy sessions with a member of BACP and COSRT (College of Sexual and Relationship Therapists) then you’ve come to the right place. I use a combination of Systemic and Psychodynamic approaches to help explore past and present contexts and their impact on mental health. Interventions are tailored collaboratively to help change attitudes to life’s most complex matters. I have experience of working with complex bereavement, fertility issues, GSERD, identity and sexuality, attachment, destructive relational patterns, anxiety, depression, self-harm and suicidal feelings.
Family Therapy
A safe space
I am a COSRT registered therapist. In therapy sessions, we’ll work together to solve patterns of relating and improve communication and relationships. I will help you re-frame your relationships and provide you with valuable tools to cope with life’s obstacles. I have experience of depression, anxiety, addiction, GSERD relationships, abusive/coercive relationships, neurodiversity, school refusal, self-harm and suicidal feelings.
Relationship Therapy
Communication is key
I work with a variety of relationship configurations to help clients develop positive communication and explore challenging patterns of relating. I collaboratively work to understand contexts and challenges and my interventions promote change in communication. I have experience of a hugely diverse range of relationship configurations, GSERD and identity, bereavement, anxiety, depression, coercion and domestic violence, suicide and separation/divorce.
Therapy for Young People
A client-centred approach
I have COSRT registration, BACP membership and qualified QTS status and over 20 years experience of working with young people. I use client-centred methods to help explore emotions and develop new attitudes towards life’s most complex matters. I have experience in working with young people with trauma, SEMH, ASD, ADHD, GSERD, Gender dysphoria, anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts, bereavement, attachment and identity issues.
