About Me
I am a qualified counselling psychologist with over 15 years of experience working across a variety of settings — with children, young people, and adults. Over the course of my career, I have worked in the NHS, community mental health services, and private practice, gaining a broad and deep understanding of how people experience and recover from psychological distress. Today, my practice focuses on trauma, self-worth, body image, and grief — areas that are often deeply interconnected, and that touch the very heart of how we see ourselves and move through the world.
Compassion is at the centre of everything I do. Before any technique or framework, what matters most to me is that you feel genuinely safe — safe enough to be honest, to be uncertain, to go slowly if you need to.
I am trained in a number of evidence-based therapeutic modalities, which I draw on thoughtfully depending on what each individual needs: Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and other approaches as relevant to your needs.
I don't work from a rigid script. Instead, I bring my training, experience, and attentiveness together to offer something that is genuinely tailored to you.
I believe that therapy is, at its core, a relationship. Healing, especially from trauma happens in connection. This is why I invest deeply in the therapeutic relationship: in making sure you feel heard, understood, and supported in the direction that feels right for you.
I also believe that you are the expert on your own life. I don't arrive with a predetermined plan for who you should become. Instead, I work alongside you; helping you develop a clearer understanding of what's happening in the here and now, and tracing it back to its roots, so that real and lasting change becomes possible.
At the heart of my work is a simple conviction: when people feel connected to themselves, they discover an inner wisdom and resilience that was always there. That's what I'm here to help you find.
You are the master of your own life. My role is to help you hear what you already know.
Beyond the Therapy Room
Alongside my clinical work, I’m passionate about making psychological insight accessible to as many people as possible.
I host the Maturing Together podcast, speak regularly for Seed Talks, and share education on trauma, self-worth and emotional wellbeing across Instagram and LinkedIn.
