About me and my therapy practice

I am an audhd psychotherapist with over 15 years of post-qualification experience, holding a Master鈥檚 degree in Integrative Psychotherapy. My professional journey has taken me through diverse clinical settings鈥攆rom long-standing work within the NHS to many years in private practice鈥攐ffering me a deep and nuanced understanding of mental health, relational dynamics, and the complexity of human experience.

Approach and Philosophy

At the heart of my work is a trauma-informed, relational approach. I believe that symptoms such as anxiety, depression, emotional overwhelm, or dissociation often arise from early life experiences, relational ruptures, or environments where it hasn鈥檛 been safe to feel or express emotion. My role is to support clients in exploring these experiences at their own pace, creating a therapeutic space grounded in safety, empathy, and respect.

Areas of Specialism

Over the years, I have developed particular expertise in supporting people with:


Previous unhelpful experiences of therapy - whether this was due to a misattunement or something more inappropriate 


Trauma and complex PTSD 鈥� including childhood neglect or abuse, developmental trauma, and traumatic grief

Depression and anxiety 鈥� particularly where these are rooted in early relational experiences

Neurodiversity 鈥� including working with autistic and ADHD clients, especially those navigating late diagnosis or masking

Relational difficulties 鈥� including challenges with boundaries, trust, or emotional regulation

Identity and self-worth 鈥� supporting clients in building a stronger, more compassionate relationship with themselves

Experience and Professional Background

My practice is informed by ongoing professional development and supervision.
My intention is to offer a grounded, compassionate, and collaborative therapeutic space. I understand how daunting it can feel to start therapy, especially if trust or safety has been difficult in the past. 

Practice description

Sessions are 50 minutes long and are held either in-person or online using Zoom (if you'd prefer an alternative please let me know).

Our first session is an information gathering opportunity for you to begin to let me know what changes you would like to see and how we can work collaboratively to achieve them.

I also offer sandtray therapy, if appropriate,  as an alternative to more conventional talking therapies 

My first session

I offer a free 20 minute consultation for you to get a feel for me and how I work, as well as discuss any worries or questions you might have.

Finding the right therapist for you is especially important and this is without any obligation.
