ABOUT ME

I am an integrative psychotherapist which means I am informed by a number of different schools of thought or therapeutic modalities including psychodynamic, existential and humanistic. This allows me to work flexibly according to individual client needs rather than using a one size fits all approach and becoming too prescriptive.

​

I provide a safe, non-judgemental and supportive environment to foster a collaborative exploratory space. The sessions are client-led, which means the content and pace of work is set by you and guided by me.

​

I am interested in how our early relationships to our parents can shape and influence the way we learn to relate to the world and to ourselves in the present. Exploring the past can help bring a kinder more compassionate and undertsanding attitude  to why you are the way you are. 

​

My style of therapy is relational, which means that the working therapeutic relationship between us is key as we explore any patterns that emerge and play as we work together that may reflect your everyday life. We will explore how you relate to the people around you. It is vital that you feel comfortable with whoever you choose to see and are able to be open with how you are finding working together.

​

Before my training as a psychotherapist, I worked in various creative industries including music and film. Through this experience, I gained an understanding of the pressures, insecurities and self-doubt that can come with that world. I am very interested in helping clients reconnect with their true selves, which can sometimes be obscured by their adapted performance or creative personas that are developed to mask any vulnerabilities. Furthermore, I aim to help individuals cope with and navigate the emotional highs and lows associated with creative output.

​​

I am also interested by the impact of boarding school on our personal development and the potential consequence it may have on forming emotional connections and attachments. Together, we can explore the extent to which these past experiences have shaped survival strategies that may no longer serve you as they were originally intended. To what extent has this become a maladaptive way of engaging in the world? ​​​
