Making an Appointment

I am a Psychotherapist, Writer & Teacher based in the UK. As an Internal Family Systems Therapist, I draw heavily from the IFS model in my work with clients. But I also integrate other highly effective models including schema therapy, compassion-focused therapy, trauma therapies, somatic therapies, Buddhist psychology and mindfulness-based approaches into my work with clients. I specialise in working with the impact of childhood trauma, but help people with a wide range of issues including stress, depression, anxiety, relationship and parenting difficulties, a lack of confidence or low-self esteem, substance abuse, eating disorders and personality problems. My practice is online, so I work with people all over the world via Zoom. 

And I provide supervision and training for mental-health professionals – teaching counsellors, psychotherapists and psychologists how to incorporate theory and techniques from internal family systems (IFS) and schema therapy, as well as other trauma-informed models, into their practice.

Having first trained in cognitive therapy and then schema therapy, in recent years I have come to specialise in internal family systems therapy, which is a warm, compassionate and highly effective approach to healing trauma, as well as eating disorders, substance abuse, long-term or recurrent episodes of depression, chronic worry, trauma, panic attacks and agoraphobia, or anxiety disorders such as health anxiety or OCD. You may also have difficulties in your relationships, or just find day-to-day life challenging and upsetting. Even if you have tried other therapies and nothing has helped, IFS can often make a big difference – it can be deeply healing and transformative, even for the most hard-to-treat problems.

My teaching

I am a meditation teacher for Insight Timer, where you will find a wealth of resources (mostly free/donation-based) including courses, breathing techniques, guided imagery, mindfulness and self-compassion practices and much more. If you are struggling with your mental health – and especially if you have experienced trauma – practices like these are a crucial part of your healing journey, whether you are also having therapy or not.

I teach webinars and workshops for people struggling with their mental health, as well as writing my blog, which you can read on this site – sign up using the form below to get my latest posts delivered straight to your inbox. My website also provides a huge amount of free information about all aspects of psychology, psychotherapy, mental health and wellbeing.

Sessions are available from 11.30am-7.30pm, Monday to Thursday; and 11.30am-6pm on Friday.

Payment and fees

If you would like to see me for therapy, we will first meet for an assessment session to see if we’re a good fit for therapy. I am happy to offer an introductory call first, if that would be helpful for you. Fees for therapy and supervision sessions are available on request. I offer a limited number of reduced-fee places for those who need them. All of my therapy and supervision sessions last for 60 minutes.

I also offer longer, 90-minute therapy sessions and three-hour intensives, which can be very helpful in extending the IFS process of healing a part, and for accelerating transformation and change.

Please note – I am afraid I no longer accept private health insurance.
