Background & Approach

My Background & Credentials

14+ Years of Clinical Experience
I've worked with hundreds of couples and individuals, across diverse backgrounds, relationship structures, and presenting issues.

NCPS Accredited Psychotherapist
I maintain the highest professional standards and engage in ongoing supervision and training.

Specialised Training in Couples Therapy
I've pursued advanced training specifically in relationship dynamics, attachment theory, and evidence-based couples interventions.

Trauma-Informed Practice
I understand how past experiences shape present relationships and work with sensitivity to trauma responses.

Insurance Accepted
Registered with Bupa, Aviva, WPA, and Vitality Health for clients with insurance coverage.

My Values

Honesty Over Niceness
I'll be compassionate, but I won't let you stay comfortable in patterns that aren't serving you. Real change requires real honesty.

Curiosity Over Judgment
I approach every couple with genuine curiosity about their unique story, free from assumptions about what "should" work.

Agency Over Passivity
Therapy isn't something I do to you - it's something we do together. You're not broken; you're capable. My job is to help you access that capability.

Long-Term Transformation Over Quick Fixes
I'm not interested in band-aid solutions. We're here to create lasting change, and that takes time, commitment, and courage.

Inclusivity & Respect
As a member of the LGBTQ+ community myself, I understand what it means to feel misunderstood. All identities, orientations, and relationship structures are welcome here.
