About me

I am a BACP Accredited Psychotherapist and Certified Core Energetics Practitioner based in Richmond upon Thames, offering integrative, body-oriented psychotherapy for adults and couples.

My approach goes beyond talking about difficulties alone. I work with the connection between mind, emotions and body, helping clients understand underlying patterns, regulate their nervous system and develop a stronger, more authentic relationship with themselves and others.

I have particular experience working with trauma, anxiety, relationship and attachment difficulties, low self-esteem, emotional disconnection, life transitions and patterns that can leave people feeling stuck despite understanding themselves intellectually.

My work integrates relational and psychodynamic understanding with body-oriented psychotherapy and Core Energetics. Therapy is tailored to the individual rather than applying one method to everyone.

I offer sessions in person in Richmond upon Thames and online.

Approach to therapy & how I work

I offer an integrative and body-oriented approach to psychotherapy. This means we can explore not only your thoughts and personal history, but also emotions, relationships, patterns of behaviour and how experiences are held and expressed through the body.

My work draws on relational and psychodynamic psychotherapy, attachment understanding and Core Energetics. Where appropriate, we may also work with body awareness, breathing, movement and emotional expression to support greater awareness and regulation.

I see therapy as a collaborative process. Rather than applying the same technique to everyone, I adapt the work to the individual and to what emerges within the therapeutic relationship.

The aim is not simply to understand why a pattern exists, but to help create the possibility of experiencing and responding to life differently.
