My Story

For over a decade, I have worked in health research, both in academic settings & in the public sector. I specialise in patient experience and maternal health. I have worked with people in NHS settings with various conditions, including brain injury, stroke, psychosis and chronic fatigue. For many years, I have also worked in a voluntary capacity for a charity which supports women engaged in sex work.

Though I began my career in a more scientific role, I found myself being more & more fascinated by people's stories. The human brain is spectacular! In addition, like many therapists, I was drawn to this profession because of my own challenging life experiences. This led me to embark on a transformational process with a wonderful therapist to whom I am eternally grateful. I am most inspired by connection and our shared humanity. It is such a privilege to be let in to people's lives and I respect it tremendously.

Therapeutic Approach

I use a humanistic, integrated approach to psychotherapy which means I draw on a range of different therapeutic models, methods and philosophies to suit your unique needs and intentions.

I believe that the relationship between therapist and client is the most important aspect of successful therapy, so my aim is to always work with you. You are the expert of your own life.
