About Me:

I am an Integrative and Psychodynamic Psychotherapist, registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), with over 20 years of experience supporting individuals, couples, families, and professionals.

I work internationally with clients from diverse backgrounds, offering a compassionate, thoughtful, and non-judgemental space to explore emotional challenges, relationships, identity, and life transitions.

How I Work:

My approach is collaborative, reflective, and grounded in understanding the deeper causes of distress, not only the symptoms. Together, we explore patterns, experiences, and relationships that shape how you feel, think, and respond to the world.

I draw on integrative, psychodynamic, psychoanalytic, and humanistic models. This means we may work with present-day difficulties while also exploring earlier experiences and unconscious processes that influence emotions, behaviour, and self-understanding.

My work is trauma-informed, neurodiversity-affirming, and inclusive.

I conduct all therapy session in English.

Areas of Experience and Focus:

I have extensive experience supporting clients with:

Anxiety, stress, low mood, and emotional overwhelm

Relationship difficulties, attachment patterns, and communication challenges

Trauma, complex life experiences, and chronic stress

Neurodiversity, including ADHD and Autism (diagnosed or suspected)

Identity exploration, self-esteem, and personal development

Work-related stress, burnout, and high-pressure roles:

For over a decade, I worked in senior clinical leadership roles within the UK National Health Service (NHS), including Senior Clinical Specialist and Clinical Lead positions. I am clinically trained in the diagnosis of Autism in both children and adults and have worked across Social Care, Education, Health, and private practice.

I also have significant experience supporting professionals working in high-pressure environments, including healthcare, military, police, and frontline services.

Neurodiversity-Affirming and Trauma-Informed Practice:

I work respectfully and affirmatively with neurodiverse clients, recognising both strengths and challenges. Whether you are exploring a possible diagnosis or already identify as neurodivergent, therapy is tailored to your needs, communication style, and lived experience.

My trauma-informed approach prioritises safety, choice, and pacing, ensuring therapy feels supportive, collaborative, and manageable.

Work, Leadership, and Life Transitions:

Alongside therapy, I have extensive experience in executive coaching, leadership development, and organisational psychology. I work with founders, entrepreneurs, and professionals navigating responsibility, decision-making, conflict, and organisational change.

This background allows me to support clients balancing emotional wellbeing with leadership, performance, and complex working environments.

Research, Leadership, and Community Work:

I have previously served as Chair of a mental health NGO, contributing to strategic leadership, service development, and mental health advocacy. I also collaborate with universities and international networks on training and research initiatives.

In addition, I currently support a charity by mentoring entrepreneurs and individuals in the early stages of starting and developing their own businesses, helping them build confidence, clarity, and sustainable direction.

Working Together:

At BetterHelp, I support individuals, couples seeking greater self-understanding, emotional resilience, and meaningful change.

Clients often describe our work as grounding, thoughtful, and practical. If you are looking for a therapeutic space that offers depth, clarity, and compassionate challenge, I would be glad to work with you.

I warmly welcome international clients and individuals from all backgrounds, including those from marginalised or high-pressure communities.
