You are welcome to see me via your Health Insurance provider

I am registered with AXA, Vitality, WPA, BUPA, and AVIVA as an approved specialist provider. 

Thank you for visiting, and welcome to my psychotherapy practice.

If youare struggling with emotional distress, relationship difficulties, or patterns that feel hard to change, I offer a thoughtful and collaborative process to help you gain insight, strengthen resilience, and bring about lasting emotional growth. 

I am an MSc-qualified psychodynamic psychotherapist with nearly 20 years of experience in the mental health field.

My career has encompassed diverse and meaningful roles, including working within NHS community mental health teams, supporting individuals with severe and enduring mental health challenges, and spending a decade specialising in addiction recovery at an NHS rehabilitation facility.  Additionally, I have two years of experience as a bereavement counsellor in a hospice, offering compassionate care to those navigating grief and loss.

Currently, I work as a psychotherapist for the NHS in Hertfordshire and provide tailored support through my private therapy practice. 

I provide a confidential, empathic, and evidence-based approach for individuals seeking help with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, addiction, or loss. I am committed to inclusive support for clients of diverse cultural, religious, gender, sexual orientation, and neurodiverse backgrounds.

My approach to therapy is deeply personalised, honouring your unique story, individuality, and the journey that has brought you here. Your well-being will always take centre stage as we work together, creating a process in which your true nature is respected, nurtured, and protected.

By the end of treatment, the aim is for you to feel deeply rooted in your sense of self, able to maintain healthy boundaries, nurture meaningful relationships, and experience greater joy, fulfilment, and resilience in all areas of your life.

It provides an opportunity for you to see whether you feel comfortable working with me and to get a sense of how I work. 

Many people feel understandably nervous before starting therapy, so keeping this initial meeting shorter helps make the experience more manageable and less intense. 

This first session will be structured as a friendly and relaxed conversation in which we talk briefly about what has brought you to consider therapy; however, the main purpose is for you to experience how it feels to be in a session with me before deciding whether to continue.
