About the Therapist

About the therapist:

Whatever brings you to therapy today, it is my firm belief that we all have the capacity to create meaningful change in pursuit of happiness. I offer an empathetic, non-judgemental, safe space where we can work together to explore what that could look like for you.

I work on the basis that we all make subconscious decisions in relation to our earliest experiences. Over time, patterns of thinking and behaviour emerge that we don’t necessarily have awareness of or control over. Without bringing them into focus, these patterns can lead to anxiety, depression, poor self-esteem, problems in our relationships and a feeling that we don’t really know ourselves. I can help you identify these deeply rooted behaviours and regain a sense of agency and conscious decision making.

We all have the ability to create meaningful change in pursuit of a calm and happy life. Together we will envisage what that would look like for you.

Qualifications - Links to websites:

I am a registered member of the BACP and I hold an Advanced Diploma in Humanistic Counselling from CPPD. Before qualifying as a psychotherapist I worked for over a decade as an international documentary director, where I learned the power of listening and the value of storytelling. As a consequence of that work, I also understand how hard it can be to commit to being in the same physical location every week. I specialise in remote sessions so that your therapeutic needs can be met wherever you are. I look forward to meeting you.

Experience and approach:

My integrative training means I draw from several therapeutic models to tailor sessions to your individual needs & my background in the arts means I bring creativity to that process. I work transculturally which means I bring an awareness of societal pressures placed on individuals in accordance with the numerous cultural identities that we each carry.
