I am a UKCP registered integrative psychotherapist, accredited Counsellor, Level 3 Internal Family Systems therapist and specialise in anxiety, trauma, anger, depression, addiction and relationship issues using mainly Internal Family Systems therapy. I help you get to know your internal landscape, so that your system can change: unburdening and healing can occur. If you've ever said "a part of me feels x and another part y, you'll get the way I work: internal family systems is a proven, fascinating, creative and sometimes fun therapy as well as evidence based, deep and trauma aware.
I’m warm and relational, calm, compassionate and creative. I aim to be a facilitator in your own process of getting to know yourself better. I hold that you have the answers within, and with my help they may be found.
