I’m an integrative therapist with experience of working with children, teens and adults. As
an integrative practitioner, I believe that no one size fits all and I offer the flexibility to
integrate different approaches in order to adapt the therapy to best suit your individual
needs. I always put the therapeutic relationship at the heart of my work with clients and
work in a trauma informed, neurodiversity and gender affirming way, with the aim of
creating a safe, warm, non-judgemental space. With a background in working creatively, I
am open to finding different ways of collaboratively exploring the issues that are important
to you.
I have a particular interest in the ways that early attachments can impact on our relational
patterns throughout our lives and I have significant experience of working with adoptive
and kinship care families and young people who have experienced early life trauma. Before
training as a therapist, I worked for 23 years in the education sector.
