I work Tuesday through Thursday mornings, with availability between 8am and 1pm.

Finding the right support for your mental health and wellbeing is essential. Whether you are experiencing anxiety, depression, low self esteem, ADHD or you are facing large life transitions and decisions, I offer professional and evidence-based therapy, tailored to your needs wherever you are in the world. 

I specialise in working with individuals in the perinatal period and people who have experienced trauma and childhood adverse experiences. However, I work with individuals of all ages and in all phases of life, including children and young people. I also offer couples therapy and clinical supervision.

If you are looking for compassionate and trauma informed therapy from an experienced and chartered counselling psychologist, you’ve come to the right place. Contact me to see how we can work together.

I am a chartered counselling psychologist registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC), the British psychological society (BPS) and EuroPsy. ​I am also a registered counsellor and psychotherapist with the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists (Íø±¬ÃÅ) and also an EMDR therapist and clinical supervisor.

I offer trauma informed therapy tailored to meet your needs. Using a number of approaches such as cognitive behavioural therapy, (attachment focused) EMDR, mindfulness, compassion-focused therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, dialectical behavioural therapy, and psychodynamic and person-centred therapy, I combine my training, skills and knowledge fluidly to meet you where you are and to help you achieve your goals. These goals might remain the same throughout therapy or change over time. Regular reviews will allow us to collaboratively ensure we are on the right track and to make adjustments when needed. 

I offer therapy worldwide via Zoom.

You might have always wanted to try therapy but found it quite daunting. You might have never seen yourself as someone who might go to therapy. You may have had numerous therapies already. 

Before we meet we will arrange a free 20-minute telephone conversation so we can get a sense of what you are looking for and whether I might be the right therapist for you at this time.

The first session is an opportunity to explore what has brought you to therapy and what it is that you hope to get from therapy. It is also an opportunity for me to get to know you and I may ask you questions about yourself and your life, while also respecting that opening up about things will take time. 

Towards the end of the first session we will have an opportunity to see how you found the first session and to think about practicalities such as fees and availability. If we are meeting for a one-off session or assessment then these practicalities will be discuss over the phone before we start.

If you are attending a one-off session or an assessment then I may ask you to complete a questionnaire before we first meet.

The price per session will depend on the length of and the nature of the session, which we will decide at the start of our work together. Typically sessions last 50 minutes (the therapeutic hour), however sometimes having longer sessions is useful, for example during EMDR processing or for individuals with neurodiversity who sometimes find it helpful to have slightly longer sessions to accommodate the way their minds work. One off sessions or assessments are also priced differently. Price range: £75-200​. Contact me so we can make a bespoke plan for you and your needs.

I work Tuesday to Thursday mornings and have availability between 8am and 1pm.

I offer clinical supervision to trainees and qualified practitioners. I am a chartered counselling psychologist and work in a pluralistic and trauma-informed way. 

If you are looking for a space to think collaboratively about your work, to step back and observe things with a wider lens or grapple with the complexities of this beautiful but difficult job that we do, contact me to see how I can support you. I offer individual and group supervision.
