My approach

My work is grounded in an attachment-based psychoanalytic framework. I pay close attention to how early relationships, particularly with caregivers, may shape the ways we relate to ourselves, others and the world around us. These patterns can appear in the present, sometimes outside our awareness, in ways that feel confusing, stuck or painful. Therapy gives us time to notice and begin to understand them.

In our sessions, I offer a private, confidential and non-judgemental space where you can explore what is going on for you—whether it is something specific, something unclear, or something that has never been spoken aloud. We can make sense of your experiences together, at a pace that feels right for you. I do not see therapy as telling you what to do; I value the understanding that can develop through being listened to and reflecting together.

Therapy is a relational process that we co-create. I pay attention not only to what is said, but also to what may be difficult to put into words. At times, what we notice in our relationship may help us understand experiences and patterns elsewhere in your life.

My approach is also trauma-informed. Ways of coping that now feel confusing or distressing may once have helped you through difficult experiences, and I aim to approach them with care rather than judgement. I am attentive to how oppression, marginalisation and discrimination can shape our emotional lives, and strive to offer a thoughtful and inclusive practice.

Ultimately, my aim is to support you in developing a deeper relationship with yourself—one that makes room for complexity, compassion, clarity and change.

I am an attachment-based psychoanalytic psychotherapist in training at the Bowlby Centre, and I am registered with UKCP as a trainee. I attend weekly supervision and value ongoing learning and reflection.

Alongside my clinical training, I have spent several years working alongside people living with significant mental health difficulties as a support worker within a well-known mental health charity. I am also a Mental Health First Aider.

I hold qualifications in language studies (BA (Hons) and PhD), as well as further qualifications, training and experience in NLP, life and relationship coaching, Pilates, and fitness. These areas continue to shape how I think about communication, identity, and the relationship between body and mind.

I welcome adult clients from a wide range of cultural backgrounds, identities and life experiences, and strive to maintain a practice that is inclusive, thoughtful and responsive. I am committed to anti-discriminatory practice and to recognising how systems of power, marginalisation, and social injustice shape our emotional lives.

I am drawn to this work by a deep interest in people, a belief in the quiet power of being truly listened to, and a lasting commitment to understanding the inner world in all its complexity.
