I've spent 35 years doing this work because I understand what it's like when the outside doesn't match the inside. I know what it means to carry things nobody sees. I've lived it, not just studied it.
I'm an integrative therapist, which means I adapt to what you actually need rather than fitting you into my preferred method. I'm trained in Psychodynamic & Schema Therapy, IFS, Somatic Experiencing, DBT-PTSD—but I don't force you into one box. We find what works for you, not what's convenient for me.
I'm not interested in teaching you more coping skills or managing symptoms. I want to help you understand why you're wired the way you are, then help you change it. That takes honesty, patience, and someone who won't look away when things get uncomfortable.
I've built businesses, raised a family, navigated my own dark corners. I get the weight of responsibility and what it costs to keep everything running while barely keeping yourself together.
If you need someone direct, grounded, human, and who won't waste your time—let's talk.

Treatment Approach
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) One of the most widely used approaches, CBT helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with healthier patterns. It is effective for anxiety, depression, and many other concerns.
- Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) Combines CBT with mindfulness to help regulate emotions, tolerate stress, and build stronger relationships. Originally designed for borderline personality disorder, it’s now used more broadly.
- Family Systems Therapy Looks at problems within the context of the family as a whole. It aims to improve communication and balance in family relationships.
- Integrative Therapy Combines techniques from multiple approaches into a customized plan. It adapts to each client’s unique situation and needs.
- Psychoanalytic Therapy Based on Freud’s theories, it explores unconscious conflicts and past experiences. It seeks to bring hidden issues into awareness.
- Psychodynamic Therapy Explores unconscious thoughts and patterns that influence current behavior. It builds insight into how the past impacts the present.
- Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) Focuses on solutions and future goals rather than past problems. It is practical, short-term, and goal-driven.
Approach Description: I don't believe in forcing people into boxes. You're not a textbook case of anything—you're someone with specific experiences that created specific patterns. My approach is to figure out what you actually need, not what's easiest for me.
I've trained in multiple modalities—Schema Therapy for understanding core patterns, IFS for working with different parts of yourself, Somatic Experiencing for releasing what's held in your body, DBT for distress tolerance and emotional regulation, psychodynamic approaches for making sense of how your past shows up now. I don't pick one and make you fit it. We find what actually shifts things for you.
Some sessions might be talking through patterns and making connections. Others might focus on somatic work because your body's holding what your mind can't access yet. Sometimes we need DBT skills to help you stay regulated while we do the deeper exploration. It depends on where you are and what you need in that moment.
The foundation is honesty and safety. If you don't feel safe enough to tell me the truth, none of the fancy techniques matter. That's why we start with stabilization—building ground before we dig into difficult terrain. Then we can do the deeper work without you falling apart.
I'm direct. I won't waste time on platitudes or dance around what needs saying. But I'm also not interested in pushing you faster than you can go. This work moves at your pace, not mine.
If you're looking for someone who'll genuinely adapt to what works for you rather than what's convenient for them—that's what I do.

Something's not working. Maybe it's the anxiety that won't quit, relationships that keep falling into the same patterns, or this exhausting sense that you're performing your own life rather than living it. You've probably tried to fix it—maybe even tried therapy before—but you're still stuck with this feeling that something underneath isn't being addressed.
Here's what I've learned in 35 years: surface-level work gets surface-level results. If we're going to change how you feel, we need to understand why you operate the way you do. Not just manage the symptoms, but find what's actually driving them.
I'm an integrative therapist, which means I don't have one method I force everyone into. I've trained in Schema Therapy, IFS, Somatic Experiencing, DBT-PTSD, CBT, psychodynamic approaches—the full toolkit. But here's the thing: you're not a diagnosis to be treated, you're a person with a specific history that created specific patterns. My job is to adapt to what you actually need, not make you fit my preferred theory.
We work together to gently unpack why your nervous system learned to operate on high alert. Why relationships feel exhausting. Why you second-guess everything despite being competent at what you do. Where the performance came from and what it's protecting. Then we start changing it—not through willpower or positive thinking, but by actually addressing the roots.
This isn't quick. Real change takes time, honesty, and someone who won't look away when things get uncomfortable. I've navigated my own difficult terrain, built businesses, raised a family—I understand what it costs to keep everything running while barely keeping yourself together. That lived experience matters when you're trusting someone with the hardest parts of your story.
I work online across the UK using evidence-based approaches that address patterns, not just teach more coping skills. We stabilize first, then make sense of what happened, then build new ways of being that feel calmer, clearer, more connected.
If you're done managing and ready to understand what's actually going on, let's talk. I offer a free consultation so we can work out if we're a good fit before you commit to anything.
