We all struggle at times and you don’t have to do it alone. I aim to provide a welcoming, non-judgemental, confidential space to explore whatever is impacting you. I am an integrative psychotherapist which means I am able to be flexible in my approach and tailor it to the person I am working with and the issues that they are currently facing. I offer face to face or remote sessions in Nottingham City Centre.

I believe therapy can be truly transformative, offering a space to explore past experiences and how they shape our present. This belief comes from my work as both a therapist and a client. I work collaboratively with my clients to create a safe, empowering environment where they can make more productive meaning about their world and relationships.

My approach is grounded in empathy, curiosity, and acceptance, but when appropriate I also offer constructive challenge. I meet each person where they are, encouraging deeper reflection and new perspectives.

Much of my experience involves supporting individuals with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, family dynamics, autism, trauma, and issues related to sex, gender, and sexuality.

DPsych, Regent's College London (accredited by University of Wales)
Years in practice: 14
Offers:  Remote Therapy

I am a chartered Counselling Psychologist and EMDR therapist, registered with HCPC and accredited by the British Psychological Society. In my therapeutic practice I work predominantly with issues around relationships, intimacy, anxiety, depression, loneliness and isolation, self-esteem, body image and eating disorders, gender identity, and a more general unease around existence.

My therapeutic approach is existentially/phenomenologically based, meaning that in therapy, we will focus on your unique, personal experience and how you have come to find yourself where you are, and then examine the possibility that you are in a constant process of becoming, ever-changing, but always in relation.

Counselling, psychotherapy and coaching in Soho, London and online.

Therapy for stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and sexuality issues, substance use, health conditions and HIV.

Many of us experience low mood, stress or anxiety in our lives and the talking therapy that I offer provides a safe space to really help. Sometimes clients just can’t put a finger on what is troubling them or causing them to feel blocked – early stages of our work together would sensitively explore this and help to establish goals so that you can, over time, appreciate your progress.

I have specific Cognitive Behavioural Therapy training to help you if you are experiencing sleep problems, panic, phobias, and some forms of trauma and OCD.

BSc (Hons) in Systemic Counselling, University of South Wales
Years in practice: 8
Offers:  Remote Therapy

As a systemically trained counsellor I pay attention to what is happening in your world right now, what is influencing your life and thoughts. Believing that change is always possible given the right conditions exist for that change to thrive and embed. It follows that one of the most important points to me is that my clients are given a safe, confidential space where they can explore their concerns, but where they are valued, accepted and given compassion. I consider my approach to be what is termed “integrative” where I use a blend of theory and techniques from the Person-Centred, Solution Focused, Systemic schools of counselling and psychotherapy. Practising from this approach I am able to adapt my way of working with clients to the uni

You may have arrived here because you feel stuck or flat or numb. Or wrung out. No time for you. Always there to help others, and sometimes taking on too much and not knowing how to say no. Boundaries are difficult. Not knowing where your partner (or friend or mother or boss) ends and where you begin.​ I know that I’m not a fixer – I can’t fix other people. But I absolutely believe people don’t need fixing. In my experience, we generally need a bit of time and space to air our feelings, our stuckness, our chaotic inner experiences with all their pain and uncertainty. I can sit with that uncertainty and pain, and explore it with you very gently.Because I firmly believe that the answers lie where the pain is.

PgDip in Psychotherapy and Counselling, University of Edinburgh
Years in practice: 25+
Offers:  Remote Therapy

Although I trained in the dialogue between psychodynamic and person-centered approaches, I work creatively and intuitively, depending on the client’s needs. Essentially, my belief in the existence of an inner world through which we perceive an outer reality where the past is alive in the present is premised on my personal life experience. However, my primary objective is to build a therapeutic relationship with you grounded in honesty and openness, which may lead to trust and mutual understanding. What is most important to me is the relational aspect of our work together, which is deemed the prime factor in the therapeutic process according to research.
