Professional experience
My work has included:
Forensic inpatient settings working with complex mental health difficulties
Addiction services in both NHS and private sectors
Palliative care and Bereavement
Community and primary care settings
Private practise, offering longer-term psychotherapy
Before training as a therapist, I worked in law and business, which informs my understanding of professional and workplace pressures.
How I practice
I work to the ethical standards of the BACP and maintain:
Regular clinical supervision
Ongoing professional development
A reflective approach to my work
This ensures that the therapy I offer is safe, considered, and up to date.
Is therapy right for you?
You don’t need a diagnosis or a clear problem to begin therapy.
People come for many reasons:
Feeling stuck or unsure what’s wrong
Relationship difficulties
Stress or life changes
Wanting to understand themselves better
Working through past experiences
What to expect
Initial contact
We arrange a brief conversation to understand what you’re looking for.
First session
We explore your situation in more detail and consider how we might work together.
Ongoing sessions
We meet regularly and review progress as we go.
