As a relational integrative psychotherapist, I place relationships and their influence on our wellbeing at the heart of my work. Central to this is the therapeutic relationship itself. I’m not what’s called a “blank screen therapist”; I bring myself to our work, engaging in an open dialogue with you. I see therapy as a collaborative process, and I always welcome honest, open feedback. Drawing from psychodynamic, somatic (body work), and humanistic approaches I will tailor our work to your individual needs.
Additionally, I have a specialist interest in peri-natal mental health, specifically birth trauma and supporting mothers and couples to adjust to the transition into parenthood.
Alongside my private practice, I have worked in higher education, addiction services and NHS secondary care. I have also managed counselling services for Mind, and women and youth charities in London and East Kent.
Prior to training as a psychotherapist, I worked as a project manager and producer in the arts.
I have over a decade of clinical experience working with a wide range of issues listed below.
- Addiction
- Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE)
- Anxiety
- Bereavement
- Complex PTSD
- Depression
- EUPD
- Peri-natal mental health
I am completing my final year of training in psychosexual and relationship therapy. I work with individuals and couples experiencing a wide range of sexual and relationship difficulties including those listed below:

I am an accredited member of BACP, the professional association for members of the counselling profession in the UK.
I am a general member COSRT, the professional body dedicated to psychosexual and relationship therapies.
