About me

I am an integrative psychotherapist, and there are all kinds of big words I can use to let you know my theoretical orientation - existential, relational, interpersonal, psychodynamic.

These words simply mean that I like to focus on who you are, who you have been, and who you are becoming in relation to yourself and others around you.

I am guided by the following principles:

• I believe that you are the expert of your own life, and I try to understand your particular and unique experience as you live it.

• I think that past experiences can impact upon the present, and I work to make meaningful connections between the two.

•  I am interested in how wider systems such as our families, communities and social and political networks inflect our emotional responses.

•  I believe that change is only possible where there is a trusting therapeutic relationship. So I do my best to create a space where you can feel heard and known in all aspects of yourself.

I trained at the Minster Centre in London and hold a Master’s degree and Advanced Diploma in Psychotherapy. I have worked in charitable and NHS settings spanning services specialising in suicide, women’s issues, bereavement and acute & complex mental health presentations.

I hold an enhanced DBS certificate, and am fully insured.
