I’m an experienced psychotherapist specialising in supporting people in intimate relationships, in all the forms they take. My work is grounded in compassion, curiosity, and respect for the many ways we connect, love, and navigate challenges together. Before becoming a psychotherapist, I worked for many years as a midwife, a role that deeply shaped the way I understand early relational experiences and the impact they can have across our lives. That work continues to influence my therapeutic lens, particularly around attachment, identity, early trauma, and the transitions involved in growing families. .

I work by listening to the issues you bring, sometimes asking questions, sometimes making suggestions. Because these are your sessions you may ignore me, disagree with me or, hopefully, sometimes find my thoughts helpful. I have an MSc in Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy and am particularly interested in identity and supporting people to develop a more positive sense of self and of their place in the world.

Though my initial and main approach is a person centred one I trained as an integrative counsellor which enables me to use person centred, psychodynamic and cognitive behavioural approaches.  I aim to tailor what I offer to the individual clients needs within a safe and empathetic therapeutic space. I came to both counselling and acceptance of my own sexuality relatively late, which I feel gives me a wide perspective.  I am particularly interested in the effects of our environment  – familial, social, political, economic – on us from childhood through to old age, how we got to where and who
