I am a qualified counsellor and psychotherapist with many years of clinical experience, as well as a trained medical doctor. My background allows me to offer a holistic and informed approach to mental health care.

My therapeutic style is relational-integrative, meaning I place the therapeutic relationship at the heart of the process. I believe meaningful change begins when we feel truly seen, heard, and supported. I draw on a range of evidence-based models, tailoring my approach to each client’s unique personality, life context, and needs. Some of the approaches I integrate include Person-Centred Therapy, Relational Therapy, CBT, DBT (Dialectical Behaviour Therapy), and Transactional Analysis.

Before becoming a psychotherapist, I trained and worked as a medical doctor in surgery, internal medicine, and obstetrics & gynaecology. My deep interest in mental health eventually led me to retrain as a psychotherapist, a path I find deeply fulfilling. Alongside clinical work in my private practice, I hold positions as an academic lecturer and within the counselling service of a higher education college. I very much enjoy teaching trainee therapists at various levels, including MSc students.

Having lived in Germany, the USA, Iceland, and the Netherlands, I bring an international perspective and appreciation for cultural diversity into my work. As a mother of four, I have a strong interest in supporting young people and families, helping them navigate challenges and build emotional resilience.

I work with both adolescents and adults, and I aim to create a space that is warm, respectful, and safe, where clients feel empowered to grow, heal, and move toward their full potential.

The use of the title Dr in this directory listing relates to the member’s doctorate qualification. However, this does not imply a general medical qualification.

Currently, I offer therapy sessions online only, or via telephone.

The length of therapy can be short-term or long-term, depending on your needs. 

Our first session will be an opportunity to get to know each other and decide if we would like to work together. I will be happy to explain my way of working, answer any questions you might have, and I welcome you to tell me about what is going on for you and what brings you to therapy. Please be assured that I will use empathy, stay with your pace and be sensitive about what you are willing to share.
