My clinical model is rooted in the principles of person-centred therapy to support clients to access their own potential for self-healing and personal development through the exploration of their life experience.

Person-Centred Therapy is a humanistic approach that emphasises empathy, authenticity, and unconditional positive regard to support the clients own resources for self-healing. The therapeutic relationship between therapist and client is also viewed as an important component of effective therapy. The alliance between therapist and client is characterised by a mutual respect, open communication, and a shared understanding of mutually agreed aims to promote better outcomes. 

While person-centred therapy forms the foundation of my clinical orientation, my approach is also significantly informed by psychodynamic theory—a therapeutic framework that explores  early life experiences and our unresolved conflicts, particularly those rooted in childhood. Psychodynamic therapy offers a framework for exploring historical trauma that can often manifest as problematic, ongoing behaviours, emotions, and relational patterns. The therapeutic aim is to bring these unconscious influences into conscious awareness, fostering insight and objectivity to promote meaningful psychological change.

After completion of a Masters degree in Applied psychology and Coaching psychology, I also work with evidence-based research to enhance personal development to help individuals flourish and thrive by optimising their awareness of their own strengths and resources. Coaching psychology is future-focused and grounded in the application of scientifically informed interventions to support personal growth through goal attainment. By integrating this approach with traditional therapeutic perspectives, I offer a clinical model that addresses both the lasting impact of past experiences and the transformative potential of future change. This fusion of integrative therapy and coaching psychology reflects a contemporary, holistic view of mental health—one that is particularly effective for addressing trauma-related psychopathology while also fostering ongoing personal change.

I have extensive experience, working within substance misuse organisations including Equinox, Change Grow Live (CGL), and Westminster Drug Project. My background also includes roles within the NHS and the education sector, notably as an associate therapist at The Royal Central School of Speech and Drama. 

I currently lead a clinical practice for a large national criminal justice service, working in relationship with the Ministry of Justice (MOJ) support  individuals facing a range of complex mental health issues that include depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation, historical sexual abuse. However, my work can also encompasses working with individuals who might just be stuck in a rut and lack a clear sense of direction in life.

Whatever your reasons for seeking therapy, our work will focus on what matters most to you and I offer both short- and long-term appointments. 

Finding the right therapist—someone whose approach truly aligns with your needs and personality—is a vital part of the therapeutic process. To support you in making an informed decision, I offer a free and confidential 30-minute face-to-face consultation. This will give you the chance to share a bit about yourself and ask any questions you may have to get a sense of whether my therapeutic approach feels like the right fit for your needs.
