About me and my therapy practice
I am an experienced, Íø±¬ÃÅ-registered psychotherapist and counsellor.
Warm, grounded, and deeply attuned, I offer a safe space where you can pause, reflect, and gently look at what’s happening beneath the surface. Clients often come to me when they feel stuck - whether in their relationships, at work, or within themselves - and are seeking clarity, renewed confidence, and a deeper sense of purpose.
I work together with you, listening closely to what you bring to each session. I adjust my approach to suit your needs, always keeping our relationship at the heart of the work we do.
Before qualifying as a psychotherapist, I spent over a decade in senior leadership roles within a corporate organisation. I understand first-hand the pressures of fast-paced environments and the toll they can take on wellbeing, relationships, and thoughtful decision-making.
In addition, my medical background allows me to appreciate how our mind and overall health are connected, helping me support you in a way that honours your whole wellbeing.
Practice description
I offer both face-to-face and online video sessions.
My approach is psychodynamic, which means we explore how past experiences and unconscious patterns shape the way you feel and respond today. As your self-awareness grows and familiar themes start to make more sense, many people find they are able to move through life with a greater sense of authenticity, balance, and fulfilment.
My practice is based in St Albans, where I offer in-person sessions in a quiet, comfortable, and confidential space within walking distance of St Albans City station. It’s a calm setting where you can arrive, settle in, and take the time you need.
Within each session, I work with openness and integrity. You are welcome to bring anything to our sessions. Everything you share matters and will be received with care.
My first session
I offer a free telephone consultation so we can talk about what brings you to therapy and give you a sense of how I work. If it feels like a good fit, we can arrange an initial in-person session before committing to anything further. Sessions last 50 minutes and usually take place at the same time each week, providing a steady, consistent space that’s yours.
Your first session can feel new and unfamiliar, and that’s completely normal. It’s an opportunity for us to get to know each other a little, explore what you hope to achieve in therapy, and ask any questions you might have about the process.
Whether you are considering short-term or longer-term therapy, you are very welcome to get in touch.
