I am a Chartered Psychologist (UK) and registered practitioner in France, with extensive experience across diverse mental health settings. My career has included work within the NHS, crisis services, charitable organisations, and psychiatric in-patient care, where I supported individuals living with complex mental illness, brain injury, and dementia. These roles have given me a broad and in-depth perspective on psychological wellbeing and the many ways in which life challenges can affect people.
In my current private practice, I work with adults online, offering a professional, supportive, and confidential space to explore difficulties and facilitate change. My practice is enriched by my training in Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) for trauma, and by my ongoing training in HeartMath, which focuses on resilience and emotional regulation through biofeedback. Alongside clinical practice, I pursue research and writing within psychotherapy, reflecting my commitment to integrating evidence-based approaches with lived experience.
I have developed particular expertise in supporting individuals experiencing family estrangement—a profoundly painful and often misunderstood experience. I work with people navigating the complex emotions that arise when family relationships break down, helping them process grief, loss, anger, and identity-related challenges, while also supporting them in building resilience and a renewed sense of connection and belonging.
Beyond estrangement, I work with a wide range of issues, including:
- Abuse (mental, emotional, physical, sexual)
- Anxiety
- Burnout and collapse of a professional function
- Bereavement and loss
- Conflict, anger and conflict resolution
- Coping with change
- Critical and punishing parents
- Current relationships at home or at work
- Depression
- Difficulties from childhood e.g. adversity, abandonment
- Family & relationship issues
- Family estrangement
- Life transitions
- Mental health difficulties
- Panic attacks
- Parenting
- Relationship difficulties
- Self-esteem, confidence and assertiveness
- Stress
- Trauma (PTSD/CPTSD)
- Work-related issues
Importantly, therapy is not only for times of acute crisis. Many people choose to work with me when they are at a crossroads, seeking clarity, perspective, or support in navigating change. My approach is collaborative, respectful, and compassionate, with an emphasis on tailoring therapy to the individual’s needs and goals.
