Founder's Note:

People come to therapy for all kinds of reasons, and by all kinds of routes. Some are taking that step for the very first time. Some are returning to something that helped before and want to go further. Some are looking for a space that feels more continuous, more personal, or simply more like them.

Whatever has brought you here, you are welcome.

I have worked in mental health for over 18 years, much of that within the NHS. That experience gave me enormous respect for what structured, evidence-based care can do, and it also showed me its limits. Systems designed to serve many people efficiently are not always able to meet each person where they actually are. I wanted to work differently.

What I have come to understand, and what shapes everything I do, is that the difficulties people bring to therapy rarely begin inside them. They begin in survival. In patterns that made sense at some point, in relationships and systems that shaped what felt safe, what had to be hidden, and what was expected. When those patterns stop working, people often blame themselves. Part of what we do together is gently relocate that, to understand not what is wrong with you, but what happened, what you adapted to, and what might be ready to shift.

I work across a range of approaches from CBT and EMDR to Interpersonal Psychotherapy, couples therapy and deeper relational and psychotherapeutic frameworks, moving between them depending on what you need and when. I have worked with people navigating depression, anxiety, OCD, trauma, grief, identity changes, relationship difficulties, and the particular pressures that come with high-responsibility work. A core part of my work is pattern recognition, helping people understand how their past experiences, relationships and adaptations are shaping their present, and what becomes possible when that picture becomes clearer.

I also bring something more personal to this work. I hold both collectivist and individualist ways of seeing the world, not as a theory, but because I have lived inside both. I understand what it means when your inner world and the world around you pull in different directions, when what you need and what is expected of you do not quite align. That informs how I listen and what I listen for.

People tell me I am approachable, that I make difficult things feel manageable, that there is room to breathe in our sessions. I take the work seriously, and I also know that for many people, feeling at ease is what makes the work possible at all.

I offer sessions in person in Buckinghamshire and remotely across the UK. I am registered with most private medical insurance providers.

If you would like to explore whether we might be a good fit, I offer an initial consultation.

No obligation, no pressure. Just a conversation.

If anything here has resonated, I would be glad to hear from you.
