About me and my therapy practice
Individual & Couples Therapy
Are you feeling emotionally overwhelmed, stuck in painful patterns, or unsure how to move forward?
Perhaps you're navigating a breakup, struggling in your current relationship, or constantly battling self-doubt and anxiety. When life and relationships feel heavy, therapy can offer a space to pause, reflect, and begin to feel more like yourself again.
I work with individuals and couples carrying the weight of past relational wounds, such as betrayal, emotional neglect, or the lingering feeling of never being quite 鈥渆nough.鈥 Some of my clients identify as emotionally sensitive and easily affected by others; others feel numb or disconnected from their emotions entirely. Many feel torn between the longing for deep connection and the fear of being hurt again.
I鈥檓 a relational psychotherapist specialising in complex trauma, especially the kind rooted in early relationships or long-term emotional overwhelm. I integrate Attachment-Focused EMDR, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and Schema Therapy / IFS (parts work) to help clients process emotional pain, shift unhelpful patterns, and reconnect with themselves and others in a meaningful way.
Practice description
While my focus is on providing long-term therapy, I understand that some clients may be looking for shorter-term support. I offer a limited number of short-term therapy blocks, depending on availability and individual needs. All sessions are held on a weekly basis, as I find this consistency is key to creating meaningful and lasting change.
Sessions are available in person at my private space in Cubley, Derbyshire, or online in the UK and Europe via Zoom for those who prefer the comfort of therapy at home. My location is conveniently located just a 10-minute car journey from Uttoxeter and Ashbourne and within 20 minutes from Stoke-on-Trent, Burton on Trent, and Derby. I am situated just 5 minutes off the A50 Sudbury roundabout.鈥
I offer an inclusive, affirming space where you can be fully yourself. I welcome clients from all backgrounds and am a neurodivergent and LGBTQ+ friendly therapist who values openness, honesty, and authenticity in the therapy relationship.
Alongside my own practice, I鈥檓 the founder and clinical director of Live Life Happy Therapy, where I also lead a small team of associate therapists and final-year student practitioners. This allows us to offer more availability and accessible low-cost therapy options, while staying true to our core values of compassion, integrity, and personalised care.
