Therapy is a commitment to yourself, your growth, and the space we hold together. I aim to make fees clear and flexible where possible, without compromising the care I provide.
*For anything else — whether you’re exploring other ways we might work together, or you’re reaching out with a professional enquiry — feel free to get in touch here.
I’m committed to making therapy as inclusive and accessible as possible.
If there’s something you need around session length, format, or fee structure, feel free to reach out. I’ll do what I can to make the space work for you.
Cancellation Policy:
Your session time is held just for you, but I also understand that life happens. If you need to cancel or reschedule, please give at least 24 hours’ notice via email or through the contact form. Late cancellations (less than 24 hours) or non-attendance may be charged the full fee.
Trauma-informed practice integrating psychodynamic and Family Systems theory with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.
I work from an integrative foundation — which means I draw from several therapeutic models in a way that’s structured, intentional, and tailored to you.
At the core of my work is a blend of:
– Psychodynamic theory, which explores how your past relationships and unconscious patterns shape your present experience
– Systemic and family-based approaches (especially Bowenian theory), which looks at how you function within your relationships and wider systems — not just in isolation
– Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which supports you in building strong coping mechanisms to help you self-emotionally regulate. ACT helps you live a more values-driven life, even in the presence of difficult thoughts and feelings
These aren’t stitched together randomly. They inform and balance each other in a way that respects both your emotional depth and your real-world challenges.
I work in a way that’s collaborative, steady, and trauma-informed, which means I’ll never push you to go faster or deeper than you’re ready for.
We’ll pay attention to what feels safe, what feels overwhelming, and how to move through things at your pace. We’re here to make sense of things together, in a space that respects your story, your nervous system, and your boundaries.
Therapy with me isn’t one-size-fits-all. It’s responsive, relational, and rooted in theory, but flexible enough to meet you where you are.
Therapy with me is open to individuals and couples from all walks of life — all races, genders, sexualities (including LGBTQIA+), faiths, relationship orientations, political affiliations, and ableness. If you’re looking for a space where you don’t have to explain or defend who you are, you’re in the right place.
Many people come to therapy noticing emotional and relational patterns repeating across relationships, friendships, family dynamics, at work, or all four. Therapy can help you understand why things can feel so emotionally charged, why closeness can feel difficult, and why we feel stuck in the same loops despite wanting something different:
“I keep repeating the same pattern with all my relationships..”
“I overthink every interaction..”
“I need constant reassurance..”
“I push people away when they get close..”
How we were raised can shape the way we think, feel, relate, protect ourselves, and move throughout the world. The roles we learned in childhood (be it the peacemaker, achiever, “the responsible one,” etc.) can often influence our relationships, self-worth, boundaries, emotions, and sense of identity. Therapy can help you understand how early family dynamics and attachment experiences shape our present, so that old patterns no longer dictate how you live, relate, and see yourself today:
“I feel responsible for everyone..”
“I struggle to believe people genuinely care about me..”
“I avoid conflict even when something hurts me..”
“I feel guilty for setting boundaries..”
“I’m successful on paper but internally I still feel like I’m not good enough..”
“I learned to keep everything to myself..”
“I don’t know who I am outside of taking care of other people..”
Whether it’s substances, pornography, sex, gambling, scrolling, or other repetitive patterns, therapy is not about shame or punishment; but rather about understanding the emotional need, wounds, and protective strategies underneath the behaviour itself. Together, we can explore not only what the behaviour is doing to you, but what it may also be doing for you:
“I don’t even enjoy it anymore, but I still can’t stop..”
“It’s the only thing that switches my brain off..”
“Nobody really knows how bad it’s gotten..”
“I feel like I’m living a double life..”
Your world can suddenly feel unfamiliar when someone you love dies. Death affects not just our emotions, but can alter our sense of identity, safety, and connection. Some losses feel uncomplicated in their love but devastating in their absence, whilst others can be more conflicted — moments where grief is tangled with regret, difficult family histories, unresolved relationships, and things left unsaid. Therapy offers a space to grieve ad process honestly and at your own pace, without pressure to “move on” or “stay strong”:
“I don’t know who I am without them..”
“I thought I’d be coping better than this..”
“I feel guilty for things I said // never said..”
“I thought I’d feel sadness, but mostly I feel anger..”
“I feel relieved that they’re gone, and I’m ashamed for feeling that way..”
“Their death brought up things from my childhood that I thought I’d dealt with..”
Most couples don’t come to therapy because they’ve suddenly stopped loving one another. More often than not, they arrive feeling stuck in a painful pattern that they’re unsure of how to escape: the same arguments, feeling disconnected, walking on eggshells, emotionally shutting down, building resentment, etc. Together, we can “turn down the heat” and better understand what’s beneath the conflict, distance, and defensiveness. You’ll learn what creates a greater sense of honesty, emotional safety, and connection.
Couples therapy is not about deciding who is “right” or “wrong.” It is about slowing down the patterns that exist between you and your partner — the misunderstandings, protections, resentments, fears, and unmet needs — so that both people can feel more understood and emotionally connected. For some couples, this leads to repair and reconnection. For others, it helps them better understand themselves and what they truly want from relationships.
“We keep having the same argument..”
“Nothing I do feels good enough for them..”
“I don’t know how to trust them after what happened..”
“Part of me wants to leave, and part of me desperately wants this to work..”
Once a couple of forms are signed and submitted pre-session, it’s about getting to know each other. We’ll talk about what’s bringing you here, what you’re hoping for, and what therapy could look like with me. No pressure to go deep straight away. We will go at your pace.
You don’t need a diagnosis or a dramatic story. If something feels stuck, heavy, or hard to name, therapy can help. You don’t need to be falling apart to want something to shift.
Yes, either in-person or a video chat that lasts around 20 minutes. It's a space for you to ask questions, get a feel for how I work, and decide if I am the right fit for you.
I do! I keep a limited number of lower-cost spaces for clients on low income or in financially tricky circumstances. Feel free to ask — there is no need to justify your situation.
That’s not a therapy problem, that’s therapy working. Whether you need to cry, vent, go quiet, or “fall apart”… it’s all welcome here.
Yes. What we talk about stays between us. Sessions are confidential and handled in line with GDPR. I’m registered with the ICO, and your information is stored securely.
The only exceptions are if there is an intent to harm youself or others, if there is suspected abuse of a child or a dependent adult, or if you want me to release information to someone else i.e. GP/doctor (this can be handled by a release of information form).
In whatever case, I’d always aim to speak to you first.
Sessions are 50 minutes (unless otherwise specified), held online via a secure, encrypted platform (Zoom). You'll receive a link automatically when you book.
Therapy with me is conversational and collaborative, not a script to follow. I integrate structured approaches when helpful (like goal-setting or values work), but I also leave room for reflection, insight, and the unexpected. Some sessions may feel focused and practical, others may go deeper — both are part of the process.
I ask for at least 24 hours’ notice to cancel or reschedule. Less than that, the full session fee may apply unless, of course, it’s a genuine emergency.
My email is always open to have a discussion if a late cancellation or a reschedule comes up.
You won’t offend me. If it doesn’t feel right, I’ll support you in finding someone who does feel like the right therapist for you.
If it crossed your mind, it can cross into the room. Therapy’s where the unfiltered stuff is supposed to go.
Platforms like BetterHelp can be a great entry point, but they often come with rigid structures e.g. weekly subscription fees, cancellation forms, back-and-forth with admin, or the inability to slowly phase therapy out when you’re ready.
I work at a pace that suits you. Sessions can be regular, flexible, or tapered off as life shifts, because therapy should change when you do.
