About me and my therapy practice
Combining over 25 years of clinical expertise, I have trained and registered as both a Specialist Therapist and Dietitian I offer a uniquely integrated approach to the treatment of eating disorders, complex mental and physical health conditions, and psychosexual or relationship difficulties. My practice is fundamentally person-centred and integrative, combining Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, psychodynamic, and relational framework to support individuals, couples, and families through every stage of recovery.
Formally trained through CICS in Psychosexual and Relationship Therapy, I hold a specialized focus on helping couples navigate relationship dynamics, fertility journeys, and trauma-based psychosexual challenges. My extensive leadership background spans specialist NHS inpatient, outpatient, and day-patient programs, as well as founding Vivre Care, where I served as Service Director and Head Dietitian. Under my strategic and clinical direction, the service earned national acclaim from healthcare peers and the Care Quality Commission (CQC) for delivering high-intensity, evidence-based psychological and nutritional care for some of the country’s most complex cases. My rare dual expertise bridges physical stabilisation with deep emotional healing, empowering clients to achieve lasting mind-body recovery.
Practice description
I currently work online only, with sessions being 50 minutes long. Couples/group sessions may extend to an hour. All sessions will be covered by a clear contract detailing all aspects of the therapeutic relationship.
My first session
I am happy to offer a short, 10 minute introduction session online prior to the first session, which is an assessment. The assessment will cover a comprehensive history and look at the present issues. There are several points during therapy where we will 'assess' how sessions are feeling to you, to ensure that you are getting the support you need.
