My professional journey began 19 years ago, with a desire to help people overcome some of the challenges they are facing at different stages in life and took me on working with families and individuals from different walks of life, some facing situations of homelessness or imprisonment. Following a career in health and social care, I decided to train as a therapist having experienced the transformative effects of therapy myself at a crossroad point in my life, and this made me want to share my learnings with others. 

​

My own journey through life taught me about the importance of compassion towards ourselves in the moments of struggle and this is something I carry in my work with clients. My practice is centred on working with your goals and aspirations, either be lowering your anxiety and stress levels, not wanting to feel depressed or de-motivated anymore, wanting to work on your family or work relationships, dealing with past traumatic experiences or having had a loss, bereavement or life changing events, wanting to feel good about yourself or change old habits. 

​

You may feel lonely, worried, helpless, hopeless about the future or at your bleakest moment. Seeking therapy is having the courage to take the first step and this makes all the difference. Sitting with you side by side, my aim is to support you find healthier ways of managing relationships, stress and anxiety and work towards empowering and preparing you to handle every day issues with more ease.

​

My practice is trauma informed and my approach to therapy is holistic which offers me a unique set of skills and experience which I can tailor to my clients' individual needs. Having worked as an adoption social worker for many years, I also have experience in supporting adopted adults and adoptive parents navigate the specificities and complexities of adoption.​

​

I believe that therapy is a two way experience. As we connect and share the experience, we open ourselves to something new and it is from this place that we can create change. I  think of therapy as an adventure into our inner landscapes, a process of self-discovery, which requires building trust, mutual respect, feeling understood and emotionally “held” and a belief in our capacity for growth.
