About
I offer a regular, confidential, and non-judgmental online space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences at your own pace. Together, we can work through difficult life events, helping you make sense of them and create meaningful changes in your life.
I specialise in supporting individuals who have experienced anxiety, depression, trauma, abuse, loss, and low self-esteem. These challenges can profoundly impact your emotional well-being, self-image, and relationships with others. By working together, we can uncover how these experiences have shaped your present and find ways to move forward with greater clarity and resilience.
My approach is rooted in psychodynamic therapy, which focuses on understanding how past experiences and unconscious processes influence how you think, feel, and act in the present. I incorporate creative methods, using both art and words, to help you explore these patterns and gain deeper self-awareness. This creative process often allows for the expression of emotions and experiences that may be difficult to put into words.
In addition to psychodynamic therapy, I am qualified in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing), a highly effective approach for processing traumatic memories, and MBT (Mentalization based therapy), which focuses on improving interpersonal relationships and emotional understanding. My training in art therapy and psychotherapy adds a unique dimension to my work, allowing for a rich and holistic exploration of both conscious and unconscious processes.
With over 20 years of experience in adult mental health within the NHS and private practice, I have had the privilege of working with people from diverse backgrounds and circumstances. I bring warmth, empathy, and professionalism to create a safe and supportive environment where you can feel genuinely heard and understood.
Whether you are navigating a specific challenge or seeking greater insight into yourself and your life, I am here to help.
