About Me

I believe that the best therapy is flexible, adaptive and collaborative. No one approach is right for all clients. You will be welcomed into a supportive, confidential and non-judgemental environment.

To live a meaningful life…to do what matters…to be the person that we want to be…I have learned that we need to develop emotional safety and regulation and the willingness to experience uncomfortable thoughts, feelings and sensations. I support my clients in this process.

My Integrative training had led me to draw on several therapies to best address your individual needs. Amongst other approaches, this includes  Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Rogers’ Core Conditions, theories of Attachment and Developmental Trauma, Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy (DDP for families) and Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Somatic and Body based therapies.

I have experience working with both adults and young people (16+) in the following settings…private practice…charitable organisations…senior schools & colleges…employee assistance providers (EAP)… independent fostering agencies.

I am an adoptive parent with a love of yoga, travel, paddleboarding and good conversation with family and friends.
