I’m a fully qualified psychotherapist and EMDR therapist. I work online with clients across the UK and internationally. I also have a private practice based in Kent, near Orpington and Bromley, where I offer in-person therapy sessions.

​I specialise in the impacts of trauma, including childhood neglect, sexual abuse, narcissistic abuse, domestic violence, serious accidents, illness, workplace trauma, and financial stress. I also support clients with issues including depression, anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, relationship issues, life transitions, disordered eating, and body image concerns.

Many of my clients come to me feeling anxious, overwhelmed, emotionally stuck, or unsure how to move forward. They may be experiencing burnout, low self-worth, relationship challenges, or moving through key life transitions — including menopause, ageing, career shifts, retirement, relationship endings, adjusting to an empty nest, or finding their footing again after loss, illness, or other difficult chapters. Often capable, thoughtful, and holding things together on the outside, they’re quietly carrying pressure, confusion, or emotional fatigue within. They’re not in crisis, but they know something needs to shift.

My work is focused on helping people explore and understand the emotional impact of life’s more difficult experiences — including stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, overwhelm, or exhaustion. Together, we work to ease inner tension, build resilience, and create a calmer, more grounded relationship with yourself and with life.

There’s no one-size-fits-all approach to therapy. My work is integrative and tailored to your unique needs, drawing on a wide range of therapeutic models to support emotional resilience, nervous system balance, and personal growth.

​At the heart of my practice is a compassion-focused, body-aware, and relational approach. We’ll work not just with your thoughts and feelings, but also with the wisdom of your body: your internal cues, nervous system responses, and the protective patterns you’ve developed over time.

​The main influences in my practice include:
​​​​
Person-Centred and Psychodynamic Approaches - Grounded in relational depth and emotional insight, these models support you in exploring how past relationships and experiences may still be shaping your inner world today, while helping you build new ways of relating to yourself and others.

Somatic and Polyvagal-Informed Therapy - Gentle, body-based approaches that help regulate the nervous system and restore a felt sense of calm, connection, and inner safety. This might include breathwork, movement awareness, and tracking physical sensations in a supportive way.

Internal Family Systems (IFS) - A deeply respectful and empowering model that helps you get to know the different ‘parts’ of yourself, bringing greater understanding, healing, and integration. IFS supports self-leadership and inner harmony, without pathologising.

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) - While originally developed to process trauma, EMDR can also be used to help shift stuck emotional patterns, limiting beliefs, and stressful memories that are holding you back. I use this approach as part of a wider toolkit to support integration and forward movement.

I work with adults of all ages.
