Many of the people who come to see me feel like something is missing, they often a sense of emptiness, of not belonging, of difference, or of not knowing who they really are.
A profound sense of feeling lost, like something is missing, and of feeling different may be accompanied by a feeling of not knowing who you are, perhaps also with a feeling that what you are is fundamentally flawed, and feeling unhappy as a child but unable to identify why.
These are common feelings among the people I work with.
I have special interest and experience in;
- child and adult relationships, insecure attachment, personality and identity development, considering parenthood, pregnancy, parenting, separation and loss, young carers, boarding school, families of clergy, young parents, childhood emotional and physical neglect and abuse, adverse childhood experiences, individuation, self image, trauma, childhood experience of social services.
- long-term health conditions, disability, diagnosis, carers, life limiting conditions and end of life.
- neurodivergence, sensory needs, identified as sensitive or gifted in childhood, difference, gender incongruence, identity, gender nonconforming.
- relationship with the body, body image, weight, bariatric surgery.
- career changes, life changes, burnout, disillusionment, ambition and reaching your potential, making difficult decisions.
I celebrate diversity and I recognise that many people do not always feel welcome, recognised, or respected for at least one part of their identity. I aim to provide a safe and inclusive space where supervisees and clients feel able to be the whole of themselves.
I take an integrative approach to meet the needs of my clients. My background is in psychodynamic counselling, psychoanalytic observation, and psychology. I also draw from internal family systems, EMDR, solution focused, and creative approaches.
Adults, young people, children, families, couples.
PTSD, complex PTSD, neurodivergence, insecure attachment.

Working with my supervisees, I facilitate in-depth, ethically minded case discussion from different perspectives, encourage professional development, and considerations of any interactions between professional and personal life. I provide one-to-one and group supervision.
I work with supervisees to look at their clients and their clients’ systems, and themselves and their own systems (including the supervisee-supervisor relationship) from different perspectives. I observe the requirements from registering bodies and act as an independent party in pursuit of best practice for clients.
Supervisees may be looking for a supervisor because they are in training, newly qualified, making a change, looking for a different perspective, or with a specific professional need. I support supervisees to make changes, develop as a professional, grow as a business, move to online practice, rebalance personal and professional life.
I celebrate diversity in the profession, in our clients, and in us all, and I recognise that many people do not always feel welcome, recognised, or respected for at least one part of their identity. I aim to provide a safe and inclusive space where supervisees and clients feel able to be the whole of themselves.
Complex cases, insecure attachment, neurodivergence, difference, adult, child, relationships, PTSD, anxiety, depression, long-term health conditions, end of life, disability, wider helping professions, identity, self-image.
In supervision, I use the seven eyed model of supervision and draw from the integrated developmental model, and systemic thinking.
My supervision is informed by my therapeutic background and prior. As a therapist, I work integratively and my therapeutic background is psychodynamic counselling, psychoanalytic observation, and psychology. I draw from IFS, EMDR, and solution focused therapy, and I work creatively.
I work with all helping professionals e.g. counsellors, psychotherapists, project workers, social workers, health visitors, emergency service workers.
