About me

Welcome to my therapeutic space, a warm, safe, and inviting environment where you can explore your thoughts and emotions without judgment. I understand that reaching out for therapy can feel overwhelming, which is why I create a compassionate and supportive space tailored to your needs. Whether you're experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, or simply seeking clarity, I am here to guide and support you.

With over 15 years of experience in voluntary and private practice, I have worked extensively with children, young people, adults, couples, and families. My background in education, mental health services, and private practice allows me to integrate a range of evidence-based approaches to create a bespoke therapeutic experience that meets your unique needs.

Tailored & Integrative Approach
I believe therapy should be as unique as the individual. I draw from Person-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Psychodynamic Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Rewind Therapy, adapting interventions to suit you. My sessions are designed to empower you, providing practical tools to improve your emotional well-being.

For children and young people, I incorporate play therapy, sand tray work, artwork, role play, affirmations, and meditation, creating a safe and engaging space for emotional expression. I work with Gillick competence principles to ensure young clients have a voice in their therapeutic process.

For couples, I provide an impartial, balanced space to support communication, emotional connection, and conflict resolution. I also have expertise in trauma-informed therapy, working with individuals facing PTSD, anxiety, and phobia-related concerns.



Compassionate, Professional, & Bespoke Support
Every client is heard, valued, and validated. Therapy is not just about talking, it's about equipping you with effective tools and interventions to navigate life's challenges with confidence.

I have extensive experience supporting neurodivergent individuals and SEND families, offering tailored therapeutic support. My work with Bupa EAP and Macmillan has provided me with specialist expertise in risk assessment, crisis intervention, and emotional well-being support, ensuring safeguarding and multidisciplinary collaboration where needed.

What You Can Expect
? A calm, private, and welcoming therapy room where you feel safe.
? A tailored, individual approach designed for your needs.
? A non-judgmental and compassionate space where you are truly listened to.
? Evidence-based strategies and interventions to support your mental health.
? Practical support to help you develop resilience and coping strategies.

Taking the first step towards therapy is courageous, and you don't have to do it alone. Whether you seek short-term support or long-term guidance, I am here to help. Get in touch to explore how therapy can support you.
