Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
I am an Accredited Registrant with the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (MNCPS Acc.) and currently in the final year of my MSc in Transactional Analysis Psychotherapy. Over the past three years, I’ve worked with clients navigating a wide range of emotional and relational challenges, including anxiety, low self-esteem, identity struggles, relationship patterns, cultural displacement, and major life transitions. My background also includes experience supporting individuals who feel stuck in long-standing patterns or overwhelmed by competing expectations, both from within and from the world around them.
My therapy style is warm, collaborative, and grounded in respect for your unique experience. I work relationally, which means I view the therapeutic relationship itself as central to the healing process. I aim to build a space that feels safe and steady, where all parts of you are welcome; including the ones that may feel uncertain, lost, or guarded. I don’t believe in quick fixes or one-size-fits-all approaches. Instead, I take time to understand how your past and present are connected, and how we can work together to make meaningful change.
My therapeutic training is rooted in Transactional Analysis, a model of psychotherapy that helps us make sense of how we relate to ourselves and others. Depending on your needs, our work might include exploring patterns of thought and behaviour, making sense of early life experiences, developing self-compassion, or working through difficult emotions that feel hard to name or hold alone.
Starting therapy can feel daunting, especially if you’re used to coping on your own or minimising your needs. If you’re considering taking that step, I’m here to support you in finding clarity, connection, and a deeper sense of ease within yourself.
I look forward to working with you.

Many people ask whether online therapy can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties or navigating major life changes, online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as traditional in-person sessions.
A central benefit is flexibility – clients can choose the contact method that suits them best, whether that is a video call, a phone session, live chat or in-app messaging. This range of options can make it much easier to fit therapy into a busy life.
Each therapist involved is a licensed professional, and clients may switch to a different therapist at any time if they prefer a different fit. For many people, online therapy offers a practical, effective route to getting support when they need it.
