My Passion and Belief in Therapeutic Work

I have devoted over 25 years to working therapeutically with complex and vulnerable adults and children, supporting individuals through a wide spectrum of challenges and life experiences. My career has been guided by a firm belief that every person is entitled to a safe, compassionate, and empowering space in which to explore their thoughts, emotions, and personal growth.

Throughout my professional journey, I have gained extensive experience across diverse settings, including schools, the Criminal Justice System, and community-based therapeutic services. I have supported individuals facing addictions, trauma, mental health challenges, and other complex life experiences, always with a focus on promoting meaningful change, development, and wellbeing. My work is informed by a deep understanding of human resilience, and by a commitment to fostering self-awareness, insight, and personal growth.

I hold an MA in Psychodynamic Psychotherapy & Counselling and an Accreditation in CBT, which underpins my practice and informs my approach to working with clients in a thoughtful, reflective, and relational way. I integrate both psychodynamic and practical therapeutic approaches to tailor support to the unique needs of each individual, helping them navigate challenges and build a sense of emotional balance and clarity.

I have a particular focus on understanding the impact of grief and loss. To deepen this expertise, I am currently undertaking a Professional Doctorate in this area, allowing me to bring a nuanced and informed perspective to my therapeutic work. This ensures that individuals navigating loss receive compassionate, evidence-informed support.

As a member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) I adhere to their code of ethics. I am fully insured to work with clients in private practice.
