About me and my therapy practice

Hi - are you feeling stuck? Repeating the same patterns of behaviour again and again in your life or relationship and going around in circles? Do you feel a lack of love/respect with your partner or someone close to you? Has sex, intimacy or compulsive sexual behaviour become an issue and you don't quite know how to approach it? Perhaps trauma, life changes, neurodiversity (adhd/asc) or difficult times have led to anxiety/depression, low confidence, the trust has gone, or you're simply feeling sad, stressed, lonely, angry, misunderstood, numb, or just not sure what you feel anymore ...

It is important that everyone feels comfortable so I am happy to offer a free 15-minute Zoom or phone consultation with no obligation ... just a chance to see how it feels to talk.

People seek therapy or self-help for many reasons but often attention is solely on the person, not the impact of behaviour on those around them. I provide a safe, confidential space working collaboratively with individuals, couples, enm and neurodiverse relationships to help understand what might be going on emotionally and physically resulting in the overall effect.

I am a Relate/CPCAB qualified Specialist, Accredited with the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society, a fully Registered member of the Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¾«×¼×ÊÁÏ and endorsed by  - the UK’s only professional body dedicated to Relationship and Psychosexual Therapies. I also partner with Tavistock for Mentalization Based Therapy (MBT) helping together and single parents in conflict achieve better communication, am certified with the Association for Autism and Neurodiversity (AANE), trained with the Contemporary Institute of Clinical Sexology and completed the ICEEFT LGBTQ+ Externship. I am experienced in supporting a range of people wanting to improve their lives and relationships, so you can rest assured that my practice is varied, bespoke and welcoming for all backgrounds, ethnicities and identities including gender, sexual and relationship diversity (GSRD).

Practice description

It may also interest you to know that I have trained with Internal Family Systems UK and am IFS as well as Brainspotting certified. Standard talking therapy is one therapeutic solution but not the only option you have with me to process distress because for some it can only go so far, feel too repetitive or even re-traumatise. Building safety and stabilisation techniques, as well as recognising how you give Consent and developing freedom of choice to ask for what you want, is key.

I also offer ad hoc appointments and One Session Therapy. If you want to strengthen your relationship and can identify one specific skill you want to build, or would like to address an issue that is weighing you down but don't think it requires a number of sessions to resolve, then this may be for you. Change starts from seeing a situation in a different light but it's not always easy opening up to the people around us, so even a one-off session with a professional, unbiased focus can be like an emotional detox to help us unburden and feel lighter. Some also use this as a 'self-care check-in' … you can stay secure knowing that you can come, go and check in or out with me whenever needed … no block bookings and no pressure!

My previous experience of working in the NHS and being a Samaritans Leader made me conscious about giving more possibilities and autonomy to everybody seeking support. Using systemic, psychodynamic, psychosexual and neuroscience skills as you can see, this is not a one-size-fits-all viewpoint ... rather an integrative approach and validation of perspectives with a fresh, unique and non-judgmental attitude to help you and your situation.

Good self-esteem leads to healthy boundaries leading to positive relationships and all are key to the foundation of our general mental health and overall sense of wellbeing. If you're overwhelmed, feeling vulnerable or struggling in your personal, social, or romantic life then please don't hesitate to get in touch.
