Hello and welcome. Do you feel anxious, depressed, or both? Something needs to change, but you are not sure what? Are you in chronic physical pain, and do you sense this might be exacerbated by stress and anxiety? Perhaps you are wondering whether past experiences are affecting your day-to-day life.

Whatever has brought you here today, I want you to know that this is a safe and confidential space where you can freely explore your emotions without fear of judgment. In therapy, we can explore your past and present experiences, create a sense of safety, and work through any emotional pain. There’s no specific agenda for our sessions; it’s a space for us to reflect and discuss whatever is important to you. Therapy is a collaborative process, so we’ll go at a pace that feels right for you. Instead of pushing you out of your comfort zone, we’ll gradually expand it.

I am a registered psychodynamic psychotherapist offering in-person sessions at a confidential consulting room. Prior to working as a therapist, I had a long and rewarding career in the wellness world. As a qualified Sports Therapist and comprehensive Pilates teacher, I ran a highly successful studio for over ten years. This experience has given me a deep understanding of how to help people manage pain and work towards their physical goals.

I continue to work with a small number of clients who come to me for pain management through what I call movement therapy, a blend of rehabilitative exercise and therapeutic support. These sessions take place in a safe, contained environment where we can also explore the emotional and psychological impact of living with chronic pain. This work runs alongside my talking therapy work as a psychotherapist. 

If you are experiencing anxiety that seems to manifest physically, or you believe your body may be holding emotional stress, please feel free to get in touch to discuss how I might be able to help.

My qualifications are as follows: 

• Foundation cert in Psychodynamic Therapy
• Level 5 Dip in Psychodynamic Psychotherapy
• Level 7 Post-Grad Dip in Psychodynamic Psychotherapy
• Registered Member of BACP 
• Body Control Comprehensive Pilates teacher
