About Me
After university, I spent over a decade working in global investment banking at some of the world’s leading institutions. During a parenting career break, I began to re-evaluate what truly mattered to me and made the decision to create a more fulfilling, nurturing and people-focused career.
This led to a deep dive into health and wellbeing, and over the last 20 years I’ve trained in a wide range of therapeutic approaches including complementary therapies, eating disorder treatment, counselling, psychotherapy, trauma therapy, EMDR and most recently Internal Family Systems (IFS). Over time, my particular interest has developed around trauma and the lasting impact our experiences can have on our emotional wellbeing, nervous system, relationships and sense of self.
I’m particularly interested in understanding how experiences such as childhood trauma, emotional neglect, abuse, difficult relationships, loss and other overwhelming or traumatic experiences can continue to affect us long after they have passed. Anxiety, low self-esteem, hypervigilance, emotional overwhelm and repeating relationship patterns can often make much more sense when we understand what has happened to us and how we learned to adapt.
I run an established private practice working with adults from a wide range of backgrounds and with diverse presenting concerns. I work primarily online, offering psychotherapy and EMDR to clients across the UK and internationally, alongside a limited number of in-person sessions from my practice in Kent.
My approach is holistic, trauma-informed and collaborative, recognising each client as a whole person rather than simply a collection of symptoms. I bring together psychological insight, trauma-informed psychotherapy, EMDR, nervous system awareness, mind-body approaches and practical strategies to help people understand themselves more deeply and create meaningful change in their lives.
I hold full public liability and indemnity insurance, an Enhanced DBS certificate, and I work within the ethical framework of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). My practice is client-centred and empowering, helping you discover what choices and strengths already lie within you.

Due to the complex nature of the issues that clients bring to therapy, I am committed to continually improving my knowledge and skills through further educational training and CPD.
