About me

I am an experienced therapist offering online therapy to individual adults of all ages, across the UK.

Therapy provides an opportunity to better understand ourselves, untangle inner conflicts and bring about positive change. Your sessions with me are confidential and provide you with a space to talk freely, separate from your personal and professional networks.

I acknowledge that the environments we grew up in and what we experience as we move through the stages of our lives, can leave us with emotional wounds and unhealthy coping mechanisms.

I am experienced in working with clients who suffered from emotional abuse and neglect as children from their care givers. The impact of childhood abuse can be far reaching and can and does, impact a person well into adulthood. Did you feel like you could not be yourself growing up? Did you fear criticism, judgement or ridicule? Was there a dominant character in the family who everyone else had to tip toe around, out of fear of upsetting them?

The impact of abuse may have left you with feelings of anxiety and depression and perhaps a feeling of aloneness and a strong need to be self sufficient, as you learnt early on that you couldn't rely on those around you for support. Do you find it hard to ask for help? Complex family dynamics is something you can explore during sessions with me.

Another area of experience is working with bereavement and loss. I trained with the nationwide charity, Cruse Bereavement Support, and supported clients who had experienced bereavement and loss. The loss may have occurred recently or decades ago. Grief is complex and there are no rules about how each individual will process their feelings and emotions.

I work in an integrative way, which means I draw upon various modalities, mainly Person Centred therapy with elements of Gestalt and Psychodynamic. I will support you and work with you, to improve your emotional well being. I tailor the therapy to suit your individual needs. I aim to provide my clients with a supportive and calm space, where you can speak freely without being judged. For some clients, it can feel like the first time someone has truly listened to them.
