Type of Therapy
Existential, Integrative, Attachment-based
About Me & How I Work
I am an accredited psychotherapist who is passionate about working with individuals and couples looking to make meaningful changes in their lives so they can live in a more fulfilling way.
Our most compelling emotional learnings occur through relationships, not on our own, therefore the therapist and the quality of the therapeutic relationship are fundamental to deeper emotional understanding and insight.
As your therapist I will take an active role in creating a private and safe space for you to consider your life in a way that is rarely possible with family or friends.
I have extensive experience working with a range of psychological and emotional issues both in the NHS and in private practice. I see clients on a short or long-term basis depending on their particular needs and goals.
Furthermore, I have specialised training in emotionally focused therapy for couples (EFT), a renowned therapy based on the science of attachment theory. My work with couples involves exploring the underlying deeper issues that are the basis of repetitive conflict and disconnection. Together, we can work to expand and reorganise the emotional responses of each person and learn how to better understand and relate to one another.
Prior to working as a psychotherapist, I worked in the corporate sector for many years and have been an advocate for mental health charities, both as a volunteer and as a trustee.
