As a dedicated psychotherapist registered with BACP, NCPS, and Addiction Professionals, I bring extensive experience and a deeply compassionate approach to my work. Creating a safe, trusting therapeutic space where each person feels genuinely heard and understood has been central to my practice throughout my career.
My specialist areas include substance misuse, problematic drinking, and behavioural addictions such as sex addiction and compulsive pornography use. I also work extensively with survivors of domestic abuse, supporting both men and women through their healing journeys. My approach is grounded in empathy, respect, and a genuine commitment to meeting people exactly where they are, whatever their background or life experience. I believe every person deserves dignity, care and the opportunity to heal.
“Life is dynamic and as such we must, at various stages of our lives, transform in order to grow and cope with the spectrum of experiences that we will encounter. The many difficulties (and potential traumas) of childhood can play major roles in our adult life, often without us being consciously aware of their influence. Unexamined habits and outdated thought patterns can wreak havoc in our day-to-day lives and can really affect our relationships with ourselves and others. These difficulties and traumas can manifest as blockages to our potential. My aim is to assist you in locating these blocks, to understand them and to work through them to help unlock the positive potential within you.”
In addition to my specialities, I also work with:
- PTSD and trauma recovery
- Anxiety disorders
- Childhood trauma
- Personality disorders
- Behavioural change
- Marginalisation and discrimination
- Low self-esteem and relationship difficulties
As an integrative practitioner, I don’t believe that one size fits all. I draw from various therapeutic modalities to tailor the therapeutic process to the individual sitting in front of me, ensuring that our work together resonates with your specific needs and circumstances. My trauma-informed approach recognises the profound impact that past experiences can have on present-day functioning and relationships, and I work collaboratively with clients to create pathways toward healing at a pace that feels right for them.
Above all, I’m committed to creating a safe, trusting space where you can feel genuinely heard. If you seek compassionate guidance and a therapist who values meeting you exactly where you are, I welcome you to reach out. Whether you’re struggling with addiction, processing trauma, or working through relationship difficulties, my approach centres on supporting you through your journey towards healing and growth.
