I passionately believe that a holistic approach to health and wellbeing involves acknowledging the social, psychological, and existential impact of life’s challenges. My work is centered on helping individuals navigate the profound shifts in identity and perspective that occur during periods of significant change, whether that involves relationship transitions, career shifts, or the impact of physical health.

​

As a psychotherapist and psychologist, I have been studying and working in the mental health field for close to 20 years. I practice Existential-Phenomenological psychotherapy, an approach that focuses on the unique ways we make sense of our world and our place within it. My experience spans a wide range of settings, including NHS acute hospital settings, school environments, and the third sector, where I have worked with both adults and children facing complex emotional landscapes.

​

A significant part of my clinical background has been in specialist NHS cancer services and with the rare disease community. I have a deep understanding of the challenges of receiving a diagnosis and finding a “new normal,” a path informed by both my professional research and my own lived experience of illness. However, my practice is fundamentally about the broader human response to adversity. I draw on these insights to support clients through a variety of life’s difficulties, from anxiety and low mood to bereavement and questions of self-esteem.

​

In addition to my private practice, I am the Research and Development Lead at Rareminds, a UK charity providing specialist mental health services for the rare disease community. I also regularly engage in teaching, delivering workshops, and consultancy. The heart of all my work is a commitment to exploring the issues that matter most to you in a safe and supportive environment.

Finding the right therapist can feel a bit daunting, which is why I encourage you to get in touch to ask any questions you might have. It is important that you feel comfortable with whomever you choose to work with.
