My approach is Integrative Humanistic Psychotherapy. I am dedicated to providing compassionate and effective therapeutic support to individuals seeking positive change in their lives.

I see adult individuals (male and female) from 18 to 65 and older, including adults from the LGBTQIA+ community.  I also see clients who require single sessions only.

I also work with creative professionals in the music and acting industries, helping them navigate their unique challenges and empowering them to thrive both behind the scenes and in the spotlight.

My diverse background and extensive education have equipped me with a unique set of skills to address a wide range of client needs.

As an integrative psychotherapist, I approach each client with empathy and non-judgment. I believe in creating a safe, non-judgmental space where clients can explore their thoughts, feelings and experiences. This allows clients to find their ways of healing and moving forward with their lives.

My humanistic approach incorporates elements of person-centred therapy, psychodynamic therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and a relational approach tailored to meet each client’s unique needs and goals.

I look forward to the opportunity to walk alongside you on your journey towards healing and personal growth.

My qualifications in psychology and law have given me a deep understanding of human behaviour and the legal impacts on individuals’ lives. Building on this, I specialise in Integrative Humanistic Psychotherapy, offering a holistic approach that considers the whole person—their feelings, environment, and aspirations.

My experience includes community health work and UK-wide low-cost counselling services, working with diverse populations and learning the importance of accessible, culturally sensitive support. As a practice manager at a private psychiatric clinic, I gained insights into ethical standards and creating a safe space for clients, strengthening my commitment to compassionate care.

My legal background in music management and contract law provides a unique perspective. As a lawyer and artist manager, I honed skills in communication, negotiation, and managing interpersonal relationships—skills that enhance my therapeutic approach. I understand the pressures of busy professional environments, which can lead to stress and anxiety, and I aim to help clients develop resilience and strategies for change.

Working in the music industry taught me about boundaries, self-awareness, and overcoming fears through supportive environments. I believe genuine listening and acceptance foster growth and healing. I am passionate about supporting creative professionals, especially performers, in navigating the emotional challenges of their careers.

I integrate my diverse experiences to tailor my approach, focusing on the individual’s needs. My goal is to facilitate healing, self-awareness, and resilience, helping clients thrive both personally and professionally. I am committed to ongoing growth and supporting those in the arts and beyond.

During the initial session, I focus on establishing a. comprehensive understanding of the client's background to create a safe and supportive environment.  I begin by gathering relevant personal history, including family background, childhood experiences, and any significant life events that may influence the client's current situation.  This helps to identify patterns, strengths, and areas of growth.

I also explore any present issues or challenges that have brought the client to therapy.  This includes understanding their reasons for seeking support, their current emotional state, and any immediate concerns.  Together, we discuss the client's goals for therapy, ensuring that these are clear, realistic, and tailored to the client's individual needs.

A vital part of the sessions involves explaining the confidentiality of therapy, outlining the limits (such as risk of harm to self or others, or legal requirements), and emphasising the. importance of trust and openness.  I aim to create. a. non-judgmental space where clients feel comfortable sharing their thoughts and feelings.

The initial session sets the foundation for the therapeutic jouorney, fostering a collaborative relationship built on understanding, respect, and shared goals.
