I’m a qualified humanistic person-centred psychotherapist, working with individuals and couples, registered with the UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP). At the heart of my approach is the belief that we all carry an innate capacity for growth and healing. Even when life feels overwhelming or change seems out of reach, I hold hope that it’s possible to move towards greater calm, fulfilment, and self-understanding.

My own path into psychotherapy came later in life. I first studied psychology and sociology at university, before working in finance and then in strategic roles within the civil service. Over time, I felt drawn back to my early interest in psychology, and chose to retrain as a psychotherapist. These different experiences have given me a broad perspective and a grounded appreciation of the challenges everyday life can bring, something I bring with me into the therapy room

I work with individuals on a wide range of issues including relationship problems, post-traumatic difficulties, anxiety and depression. I also have experience of supporting couples, helping them look more closely at the patterns that shape their relationship and the tensions that can grow from them. Together, we explore how they relate to one another, how they navigate conflict, and how they find their way back to each other after difficulties. Our sessions offer space for both partners to express their feelings and experiences, and to gain insight into the underlying dynamics influencing their connection. The work can be gradual and at times challenging, but trust develops as we create a safe, steady environment where emotions and complexities can be explored openly and honestly.

Through my training and practice, I’ve worked in a variety of settings, including those supporting people living with severe mental health difficulties and complex psychiatric diagnoses. I have experience of and work well with individuals living with personality disorders, OCD, anxiety, depression, neurodiversity (such as ADHD and ASD), and those with more than one diagnosis at a time. Alongside this, I have supported many people through bereavement and loss, the impact of trauma, the challenges of living with or alongside cancer, low mood, and feelings of stuckness. Loss can take many forms: the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, changes in health, a loss of confidence, or a shift in identity or purpose. Whatever you may be facing, therapy offers a safe and supportive space to explore and make sense of what has happened, and how it continues to affect you.

I also have experience working with couples whose relationships are under strain, including those navigating the impact of infidelity, and I specialise in longer-term therapeutic work with couples.

As a person-centred humanistic psychotherapist, I see therapy as a collaborative and relational process. My role is to offer empathy, honesty, and a non-judgemental space where you feel safe enough to explore what matters most to you. Together, we might:

• Notice patterns, beliefs, or ways of relating that may be keeping you stuck,
• Explore and begin to make sense of difficult feelings and experiences,
• Move towards a stronger sense of self-acceptance and confidence, opening up the possibility of living with more ease and authenticity.

I work with couples using a person-centred approach. In this context, the relationship itself becomes the client. My role is to hold the couple as a whole—rather than taking sides or prioritising one partner over the other—and to support both individuals in a way that honours the needs, experiences, and wellbeing of the relationship they share
