Our Team
Meet the people behind our practice and the experience they bring to every session.
I’ve always loved stories. As I grew older, I became increasingly aware of just how powerful they are, and how profoundly they shape the way we see ourselves, others, and the world around us. In a world where it can so often feel as though our stories are written for us, I consider it an incredible privilege to offer a space where clients can explore, understand, and gently reshape the stories that have shaped them.
I am a Counselling Psychologist offering medium- to long-term psychotherapy for children, adolescents, and adults. Over the years, I have worked with a diverse range of clients across a variety of settings, but have found myself most at home supporting neurodivergent individuals, members of the LGBTQIA+ community, and those navigating the impact of trauma. My approach is collaborative, evidence-based, trauma-informed, and neurodiversity-affirming, and I tailor therapy to each person’s unique story, strengths, and needs.
At the heart of my work is the belief that people make sense within the context of their stories. Rather than asking “What’s wrong with you?”, I am more interested in asking, “What has helped you survive?”, and “What matters most to you?” I believe meaningful change begins not with becoming someone different, but with developing a kinder relationship with who we are. Therapy is not about fixing people. It is about creating enough safety to become curious about ourselves, to understand the patterns that have shaped us, and to discover new ways of living that feel more authentic, compassionate, and aligned with our values.
Beginning therapy can feel daunting, and it is completely natural to wonder what to expect. My hope is to offer a space where you feel accepted, understood, and deeply seen: a space where you can arrive exactly as you are, without needing to have everything figured out.
Clients may describe my therapeutic style as warm, collaborative, and gently curious. While I may offer new perspectives or gently challenge patterns that are no longer serving you, I believe meaningful therapy happens through collaboration rather than direction. We move at a pace that feels manageable, guided by your goals, your values, and your unique way of experiencing the world.
Whether our work involves processing trauma, navigating relationships, making sense of neurodivergence, developing practical coping strategies, or simply finding language for experiences that have long felt difficult to explain, my aim is for therapy to become a place where every part of your story is welcome.
Outside of my work, you’ll usually find me spending time with my family and friends, reading fantasy novels, building LEGO, playing Dungeons & Dragons, or enjoying a good cup of coffee. I love learning, and I’m endlessly fascinated by the many different ways people experience and make sense of the world. That same curiosity is something I bring into the therapy room every day.
Whatever has brought you here, I hope you know that you are welcome exactly as you are. Reaching out for support is often one of the hardest first steps, and you don’t have to take it perfectly. If my approach resonates with you, it would be a privilege to walk alongside you as you move towards a life that feels more authentic, meaningful, and true to who you are.

I’ve always been someone who feels things deeply. As I’ve grown, I’ve come to understand and value this part of myself. I think it has shaped the way I connect with people, my curiosity about the emotional world, and how I work as a therapist.
I’m deeply interested in people and the stories we develop about ourselves: the stories we inherit, the experiences that shape us, and the beliefs we carry long after they have stopped serving us. This drew me towards narrative therapy and continues to ground my work. I’m a person-centred, narrative and integrative therapist, adapting my approach to the person sitting in front of me. I believe you are the expert in your own story. My role is to bring curiosity, knowledge and tools to help us make sense of it together.
I work with children from around five years old, adolescents and adults across the lifespan. I love the diversity of this work and find something meaningful in every stage of life. I particularly enjoy working with anxiety, depression, grief, identity and relationships. Neurodiversity is another area close to my heart, and I enjoy working therapeutically with autistic people and people with ADHD. My approach is neurodiversity-affirming, with curiosity about each individual’s experiences, needs and ways of being.
I think people deserve to be met as people before they are met as problems to be solved. For me, therapy is about creating enough safety to become curious about yourself. Sometimes that means making sense of something that happened or understanding a repeating pattern. Sometimes it means sitting with grief, finding words for an experience, or discovering who you are beneath the expectations, roles and stories you have carried. Therapy can be uncomfortable, but I believe that discomfort should be held within a space that feels safe, respectful and compassionate.
I want my therapy room to feel like a space that belongs to you too. You can reach for a fidget, grab something from the snack box, get comfortable or sit cross-legged (I probably will too). These little things matter to me. I want therapy to feel like a space you can actually inhabit, rather than another environment where you have to perform. My style is warm, collaborative and curious. I’ll listen carefully, ask questions, notice patterns and sometimes gently challenge you. We figure things out together. Sometimes we begin with what feels most urgent and discover a much bigger story underneath. Above all, I hope you feel seen and understood, even when the work is difficult.
Outside the therapy room, my ideal day looks a lot like a slow Sunday: a long walk with my dog, time with people I love, a hot cup of tea and a pastry from a little bakery. I love travelling, but equally love coming home: lighting a candle, getting comfortable and losing myself in a book, building a miniature world kit, or settling in for cosy gaming with a nostalgic 90's/early 2000's TV show playing in the background.
One of the greatest privileges of being a psychologist is being invited into parts of people’s lives they don’t always feel able to share elsewhere. I don’t take that invitation lightly. If you find yourself in my therapy room, you don’t need the right words or everything figured out. You can simply arrive as yourself, and we can start there.

I am a warm, genuine and compassionate therapist who really values getting to know the person sitting in front of me. For me, therapy is not just about focusing on a problem or difficulty, but about understanding you as a whole person.
I tend to approach therapy with a lot of curiosity. I enjoy listening to each person’s story and making sense of things together. I am particularly interested in the patterns we develop over time, where they may have come from, how they continue to influence us and how greater self-understanding can create space for meaningful change.
It is very important to me that therapy feels like a safe, accepting and non-judgemental space. What matters most to me is creating a relationship where you feel genuinely heard, understood and able to show up as yourself. Therapy can sometimes ask us to sit with difficult emotions, uncomfortable conversations or parts of ourselves that we may not fully understand yet. In those moments, I want you to know that you do not have to work through them alone. My role is to walk alongside you and create a space where you feel supported enough to explore what is happening for you at a pace that feels manageable.
You can expect me to be caring, consistent and genuinely engaged in the therapeutic process. I draw on evidence-based approaches to guide our work, while also recognising that therapy is never one-size-fits-all. I believe that building a strong therapeutic relationship, understanding what you need from therapy and creating a space where you feel comfortable enough to be yourself are all important parts of the process.
Outside the therapy room, I am someone who loves trying new hobbies and finding creative things to do. I love being outdoors, but I am just as happy curling up with a good romance book, TV show or thriller.
Ultimately, I hope therapy can become a space where you feel comfortable enough to be honest and curious, and supported enough to begin making changes that feel meaningful to you.

I work from an integrated perspective. This means that I view each person as unique and attempt to utilise different methods to try and find the best way to meet your individualised needs as my client, rather than taking a ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach.
In general, though, my focus is not about uncovering ‘what is wrong’ with you by trying to find the right label or diagnoses. Instead, I try to look at your struggles through the lens of ‘what happened to this person?’. What is most important to me then is providing the right space for us to explore and unpack how these experiences helped you survive and how they may be impacting how you experience yourself and the world now.
If you decide to work with me, our therapeutic relationship will be collaborative rather than one-sided (where I would assume to know how to live your life better than you and expect you to follow and agree with whatever I bring forward in the sessions). In this way, I hope to empower you to be an active part in your own life and contribute towards your own healing and recovery.
Outside of the therapy room you will usually find me at home with my pets watching cricket or binge watching the latest epic fantasy or dark comedy. So, if we work together, prepare yourself for the arbitrary TV/movie comparison and dry humour.
