Having worked in the NHS and charity sectors, I have a broad understanding of psychological distress and have a particular clinical interest in working with anxiety, selective mutism, relapse prevention, and developmental trauma.

 

Initially, I trained in existential and psychodynamic frameworks and have incorporated cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) into my practice.

​

My mission is to empower my clients to confidently move forward when facing life's challenges. I view therapy as an opportunity for my clients to share their stories, reflect on their experiences, and identify what and how they would like to change. When appropriate, I offer my clients relevant skills and strategies to support them in moving towards their therapeutic goals.

​

​​As part of my pluralistic approach, I offer flexible and bespoke interventions to meet the unique needs of each of my clients. Although my aim is for therapy to be as short-term as possible, the length of therapy depends on various factors. Short-term psychological interventions target specific areas of concern. They are helpful for those clients approaching therapy with a clear understanding of their therapeutic goals and who are motivated to practice therapeutic skills between sessions. Longer-term therapies offer an opportunity for clients to explore broader issues or challenges. I work collaboratively with clients to gain a deeper understanding of themselves, reflect on how they are navigating a range of interpersonal and intrapersonal factors such as identity, sexuality, religion, values, relationships, and more, and identify any areas they wish to change.

​

In private practice, I work with adults and teens, and I also work with children in the area of selective mutism.
