About me

About Me
After years in the finance sector within the City of London, I wanted something better for myself in a carer - one that aligned with my curiosity of human connection and personal development. Retraining as a Psychotherapist allows me to pursue meaningful work, supporting individuals in overcoming challenges and fostering emotional well-being. My extensive training across multiple therapeutic modalities ensures a tailored, adaptable approach for every client.
My background before therapy gives me insight and understanding of the business world and equally I draw on my personal experiences of life to provide an empathic understanding of what life can throw at any of us. Most importantly, my work takes place within a professional framework with you, my client at the centre of it.

How Therapy Can Help
Therapy provides a safe, confidential space to explore challenges, gain clarity, and create lasting change. Many people experience feelings of being stuck, uncertain, or overwhelmedif this resonates with you, know that these feelings are valid, and you dont have to navigate them alone. Working together, we can untangle difficult emotions and patterns, helping you build resilience, self-awareness, and new ways of moving forward.

My Therapeutic Approach
I take an integrative approach, meaning I draw from multiple evidence-based techniques depending on each individuals needs. Some of the modalities I use include -
Person-Centred Therapy, focusing on your experiences and personal journey.
Psychodynamic Therapy, exploring how past experiences influence present struggles.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy CBT, breaking challenges into manageable steps.
Jungian Theory, reconnecting with your authentic self.
Rather than applying a rigid framework, I ensure therapy is adaptive and responsive to you. Whether you need structured techniques for problem-solving or deeper exploration of emotions and patterns, we will work together to find an approach that feels right. I work with the view that the client knows themselves best - I am there to facilitate a safe space and use my professional skills to assist them.

Supporting You Through Life's Challenges
I work with clients of all ages, helping them navigate difficulties such as depression, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, anger, relationship challenges, work-related stress, addiction, exam pressure, childhood and adolescent concerns, adoption, fostering, health issues, and personal growth. Therapy can improve well-being, strengthen relationships, and empower you to regain control and clarity in your life.

What to Expect
Therapy is a collaborative process. There is no right way to begin, and no expectation to have all the answers. Our work together will be guided by trust and mutual understanding, helping you reconnect with yourself, challenge limiting beliefs, and move toward a life that feels more fulfilling and balanced.
Breaking free from patterns that no longer serve you can be transformative. If you're ready to explore new possibilities, I'm here to support and work with you to find them.
