I work with individual adults collaboratively through a Psychodynamic approach, integrating body awareness where this is helpful. While I work with a wide range of issues, I specialise in supporting people affected by:
- -early relational trauma (this may be experienced as chronically feeling unloved, disconnected, empty, abandoned, ‘unreal’ or out of touch with the body)
- -LGBTQ+ issues
- -autistic spectrum conditions
- – depression
- -anxiety
- Psychodynamic counselling
- Zoom, telephone, in person
- PGDip Psychodynamic Counselling (Distinction) ; PGDip Mental Health Nursing; BAHons English Literature
- BACP registered

I have worked with people experiencing emotional, psychological distress since 2007, integrating my experience of working in NHS mental healthcare with my current psychodynamic approach. Issues are addressed through a collaborative, empathic exploration of feelings, thoughts, fantasies, dreams, early and current relationships in the context of an evolving therapeutic relationship. Where it is helpful, I draw upon body-oriented approaches to trauma to support clients to articulate and integrate their experience.
