Individual psychotherapy

There's no doubt that going to therapy has become more 'normal' in recent years. 

Countless people – me included – have found it helpful to share struggles in a confidential, safe environment. Opening up in this way can be transformative. Nonetheless, choosing to begin therapy is still a big decision, especially when we may be feeling particularly vulnerable.

Perhaps you are grieving the loss of a loved one, or struggle to sustain meaningful relationships. Maybe you or someone close to you is self-harming, feeling suicidal, or struggling to get out of bed in the mornings. You may be affected by one or several of the following:

  • depression

  • stress, anxiety or panic attacks

  • gender

  • sexuality

  • addiction

  • disordered eating or body shame

  • bereavement

  • late-diagnosed neurodivergence

  • physical disabilities and chronic pain

  • trauma

  • childhood neglect

  • bullying

  • anger

  • issues around infertility, childlessness, miscarriage, post-natal depression and parenting

  • sexual trauma or sexual dysfunction

  • perimenopause / menopause

  • loneliness

  • cultural issues

  • career and workplace difficulties

  • relationship struggles

I am a fully-qualified and registered Integrative Psychotherapist – you can read more about me here and I’ve also answered some FAQs that might help you get a sense of me. I work with adults over 18 – there is no upper age limit. If you would like to arrange an initial consultation, or if you have any questions, please contact me using the secure online form at the bottom of this page.

  • Integrative therapists are trained in a range of diverse therapeutic approaches, including:

    • psychodynamic (based on the work of Freud, Klein & Jung)

    • humanistic and person-centred therapy (Rogers)

    • existential models (van Deurzen, Yalom)

    • early development & attachment theory (Bowlby, Winnicott)

    • neuroscientific approaches (Porges, van der Kolk)

    • contemporary relational perspectives (Mitchell, Benjamin)

    In plain English, this means my training has given me breadth and flexibility so that I can tailor my approach to each individual client or relationship pair, and help support a wide range of different people with all their varied stories.

  • Whether there’s a meaningful difference between counselling and psychotherapy depends on who you ask. The most common distinction says that counselling is usually shorter term work (mostly focusing on behavioural patterns in the here-and-now) whereas psychotherapy is more in-depth and longer term, exploring historical patterns and formative relationships to understand ourselves better.

    Definitions aside: I see clients at least once a week, in a quiet, confidential and non-judgmental space. Some clients find that more frequent sessions are helpful; we can discuss this when we meet. I usually work face-to-face, although online sessions are an option if you’re unable to make it in person e.g. if you’re travelling or unwell.
