Professionally, I am an HCPC registered Counselling Psychologist.

​

My approach to therapy is that change and healing happens through first rebuilding our relationship to ourselves, including our relationship with our body. So many of us disconnect as a way to cope, but this ends up taking us further away from the life we want. You might be struggling with low self-esteem, perfectionism, burnout, stress, eating/body image difficulties, or unfulfilling relationships. If this sounds familiar, let's get together and help you make sense of what's holding you back.

​​

​

I work predominantly with adults and children over the age of 14. My sessions are accepting, non-judgemental, neurodiversity-affirming and LGBTQ+ welcoming. Clients who choose to see me for Equine Assisted Psychotherapy are those who are ready for an exploration of their inner world to change deep-rooted difficulties. We will concentrate on reaching depth, so that even the really uncomfortable parts can come out, and I will push you to safely make the changes that you want to see.
