Schema Therapists in Coventry, England, United Kingdom

I am an optimistic and accepting therapist, enthusiastic about working with clients in collaborative ways, seeking to uncover and understand, and finding new ways of changing your life and living with fulfilling and rewarding relationships, families and friends. Over the years I have come to appreciate the therapeutic relationship as deeply healing, a safe space for clients to reflect and explore.

I work in a warm, informal, and deeply human way. I see you as the expert on yourself, and my role is to help you make sense of what lies beneath the surface: your patterns, relationships, wounds, pressures, and life experiences. I bring together genuine warmth, honest connection, deep pattern recognition, and a structured approach, so that therapy feels both easy to step into and meaningful in what it uncovers. I believe the best therapy happens when you can be real, speak freely, and feel understood without having to perform or pretend.

I am an experienced integrative therapist, and I am trained in a range of modalities that will allow us to identify a tailor-made approach to help you overcome your unique challenges. I offer a warm, accepting presence, and work on the assumption that all successful therapy proceeds from a person-centred foundation based in empathy, positive regard and genuine concern for the welfare of my clients. Approaches offered include CBT, psychodynamic, and mindfulness-based therapy, and I am also a level 3-trained EMDR therapist. I also incorporate elements of acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) and schema therapy.

The reason people come to therapy are rarely simple. Sometimes it's anxiety that has gradually become exhausting, sometimes it's a relationship that no longer feels the way it once did. Sometimes it's a loss, a transition or patterns that seem to repeat despite your best efforts to change them. I offer individual couples and family therapy that is grounded in evidence and informed by a careful understanding of your history, current difficulties and therapeutic goals. My role is to help you understand what's happening, make sense of it and work towards change that feels meaningful and sustainable.

Coventry is a city with a young demographic profile — shaped by its two major universities, the University of Warwick and Coventry University, which together generate significant demand for therapists working with academic pressure, student mental health, and young adult transitions. The city's diverse population, with large South Asian, Black British, and Eastern European communities, drives sustained demand for culturally competent and multilingual therapists across a wide range of presentations. Coventry and Warwickshire Partnership NHS Trust provides public mental health services, with a private practice community serving the Cathedral City area and surrounding suburbs. Coventry's manufacturing heritage — particularly in automotive and aerospace — shapes a working population with its own occupational stressors that therapists regularly encounter.
