Before training as a therapist, I worked in engineering and business development, which brought me into contact with people from a wide range of backgrounds and experiences, often during periods of stress, uncertainty, or significant change. I found myself most engaged by the human side of it: relationships, communication, emotional resilience, and how people respond to challenges.  As a manager, I was particularly interested in supporting people to recognise their own strengths and capacities, especially at times when they felt overwhelmed or doubtful of themselves.

 

My growing interest in emotional life and human relationships eventually led me to retrain as a therapist. I completed an MA in Integrative Psychotherapy (Distinction) at Leeds Beckett University and am a BACP Accredited psychotherapist.

 

My approach focuses on being relational, thoughtful, and collaborative. I aim to offer a warm and non-judgmental space where people can explore difficult experiences safely, develop greater self-understanding, and feel more connected to themselves and others.

Alongside private practice, I have experience working within NHS-affiliated services, supporting clients facing a wide range of emotional, relational, and health-related difficulties, including neurodiversity-related experiences.

I continue to develop my practice through ongoing professional training and have a particular interest in Relational Psychoanalysis. I am a member of the International Association for Relational Psychoanalysis and Psychotherapy.

 

Outside of my work, I enjoy tennis and yoga, both of which help me maintain balance and connection in my own life.
