About me... 

I am a fully qualified Counsellor and Psychotherapist specialising in mental health, eating disorders, addiction and recovery, with several years of dedicated experience working across high-end private clinics and established national organisations. 

I have completed several specialised additional training courses across the eating disorder sector, mental health and Psychiatry and trauma informed practice. 

​

My work has placed me within respected services, where I have collaborated closely with senior clinical teams, ran recovery-focused programmes, and been invited to professional events to meet CEOs and leaders shaping addiction and mental health care in the UK. These experiences have given me a broad and grounded understanding of addiction and mental health treatment — from frontline therapeutic work to how services are designed, delivered, and evaluated at an organisational level.

​​​

I have supported individuals and families affected by mental illness, substance use and compulsive behaviours across pre-treatment, active recovery, relapse, and long-term healing, often working with complex emotional and psychological needs.

I am here to support you at all stages of your recovery and healing journey, and I truly value the opportunity to walk alongside you. 

​

My work is informed not only by specialised academic and clinical training, but by a deep understanding of the emotional and relational impact addiction can have. 

​​​​​​​​​​

Lived Understanding, Held Professionally

Alongside my clinical and academic work, my understanding of addiction is also shaped by personal experience within my family members. This gives me a deep appreciation of the fear, grief, and complexity that often surrounds addiction and recovery.

This lived understanding is held carefully, deeply understanding the gravity of addiction, while ensuring that your experience remains the focus of our work.

My Approach

My work is led by a genuine commitment to support, empower, and inspire you. Central to my practice, is the belief that the therapeutic relationship is at the core of the work - when trust and safety is established, meaningful work can take place.

I aim to build a relationship that is genuine and supportive, where you feel truly seen and heard.

​

I work as an integrative counsellor, which means I draw from a range of therapeutic approaches and tailor our work to suit you as an individual. We are all unique, shaped by different experiences, challenges, and ways of healing, and therapy should reflect that.

My approach is informed primarily by CBT and Gestalt therapy, bringing together practical, cognitive ways of understanding patterns and thoughts with the more creative and holistic elements of Gestalt. This allows us to explore not only what is happening for you, but how you experience it — emotionally and physically, integrating the mind and the body through the healing process.
