ABOUT ME

At different points in life, many of us feel stuck, lost, overwhelmed or burdened by experiences we haven’t fully processed. I offer a safe, non-judgemental and supportive space where we can explore what’s holding you back. Through reflective, collaborative work, therapy can deepen self-understanding, strengthen your sense of agency, and support choices that feel more aligned with who you are and what you want. Sessions are client led: you set the pace and focus, and I guide the process.

 

Before training as a psychotherapist, I worked in various creative industries and understand the pressures, insecurities and self-doubt that often accompany that world. I’m particularly interested in how people develop adapted identities or “masks” to cope, perform or belong in creative fields or elsewhere, and how these can gradually distance us from our authentic selves. Therapy offers space to reconnect with what may have been obscured or silenced over time.

​

I am an integrative psychotherapist, drawing on psychodynamic, existential and humanistic approaches. This allows me to work flexibly and responsively, rather than applying a one-size-fits-all model. My work is strongly informed by attachment theory and an understanding of how early relationships shape the way we learn to relate to ourselves and others. I also have specific training in the psychological impact of boarding school and how early separations can affect emotional connection and intimacy in adulthood. Together, we can explore survival strategies that once made sense but may no longer serve you.

 

Above all, I believe the therapeutic relationship is central. I work relationally, paying attention to patterns that emerge between us in the room, which often reflect wider ways of relating in your life. Feeling safe, understood and able to speak openly about the therapy is essential, and I encourage ongoing dialogue about how the work feels for you.
