About me:

I am a psychotherapist, group analyst, supervisor and trainer. I work in private practice, offering individual therapy, supervision, staff support, consultancy and reflective practice.

My professional background is broad and grounded in many years of therapeutic practice across the NHS, public and voluntary sectors. I worked for over ten years as a senior psychodynamic psychotherapist in the NHS and have extensive experience supporting people with a wide range of mental health difficulties, including in forensic settings. Alongside clinical work, I have worked in organisational contexts such as schools, the NHS and voluntary organisations, offering supervision, staff support and consultancy.

My earlier training and experience in social work and youth and community work continues to shape how I practice. I have a particular interest in working with women and previous roles include that of Director of Womankind, Bristol Women’s Therapy Centre, as well as with people who may find services hard to access, including refugees and asylum seekers. My work is informed by a belief in the importance of relationships, context and belonging in creating meaningful and lasting change.

My Values

My work is guided by a set of values that shape how I think about therapy, groups and professional relationships:

• Respect and dignity — offering a thoughtful, non-judgemental space where people feel taken seriously and met with care.

• Relationship and connection — valuing the group and the therapeutic relationship as central to understanding and change.

• Inclusivity and accessibility — working with difference and supporting those who may feel marginalised or excluded from services.

• Curiosity and reflection — remaining open, reflective and committed to ongoing learning.

• Ethical and responsible practice — grounded in professional integrity, supervision and safe, thoughtful practice.
