My therapeutic approach is relational and existential. I work collaboratively with clients to explore the difficult circumstances they face, creating a space where challenging or painful life experiences can be attended to without judgment or preconception. Through this work I hope clients will discover a greater sense of agency and meaning, finding more freedom to make decisions.

I am interested in the ways that childhood can leave a lasting impact on how we view and respond to our adult relationships. However, I don’t see therapy as something that is constantly looking backwards and prefer to keep the significance of past events in balance with what it means to be living in the present moment.

In my couples practice I explore each partner’s unique experiences, being curious about what that means for their connection with one another and working with the challenging patterns that have hindered progress in the relationship. As a certified Relational Life Therapy (RLT) couples therapist, I integrate RLT’s avant-garde approach to guide couples through the process of strengthening emotional intimacy, improving communication and creating lasting change in their relationship.

In addition to therapy, I offer personal and professional coaching. My coaching style is collaborative and I work with clients to develop more clarity over their situation and a deeper appreciation of the internal resources that allow for meaningful change and new solutions to emerge.

I trained in existential psychotherapy and counselling following a diverse career in the NHS. As a senior manager, I worked extensively with executive teams across a range of organisations and regional structures. I have worked therapeutically for several years with inpatients and outpatients in a private hospital setting.
