About me

A healthy relationship with yourself and others begins with understanding – while we cannot rewrite the past, we can shape how it influences our future.

As a dedicated therapist, I’m here to guide you through life’s challenges with compassion and understanding. With experience in the NHS Sexual Health Clinic and as an Airline Cabin Crew Counsellor, I work with neurodivergence and same/opposite-sex couples, inc. poly relationship systems and individuals. I specialise in trauma, grief and loss, couples, relationships and sexual difficulties.

I offer a safe and confidential space where you can openly discuss your concerns without fear of judgment. Whether you prefer meeting in person at my conveniently located practice, just 5 minutes from Hampton Court station, or online, I’m here to support you in finding clarity and healing.

My approach is grounded in Human Givens therapy, a practical and solution-focused method designed to help you feel better, faster. As a holistic practitioner, I integrate the mind, the somatic body, and your life purpose, tailoring our work to your unique needs and goals.

With specialised training in sex and relationships, as well as complex and vicarious trauma, I can help you navigate a wide range of challenges whether rooted in the past or unfolding in the present. Together, we’ll work toward meaningful change and personal growth so that you can move forward with greater confidence and well-being.


Due to the nature of my specialisms, ethically, I prefer to keep my clients’ private lives confidential, so I do not request client testimonials. I understand the importance of choosing the right therapist for you, so I am available for a complimentary 15-minute chat via phone to discuss how I may support you.
