“Your life does not get better by chance, it gets better through change.”
About me
My background includes over 25 years of supporting vulnerable children and families, managing social, emotional and behavioural support within schools, overseeing safeguarding responsibilities, delivering parenting support, and working closely with staff and families to create safe and supportive environments.
This extensive experience deepened my understanding of the emotional challenges people face and led me to train as a psychodynamic counsellor. Once qualified, I worked with the Enfield Counselling and Psychotherapy Service, where I saw clients, couples and ran a domestic violence clinic, while also establishing my own private counselling practice and further developing my specialist training in child and adolescent counselling.
My passion for understanding human behaviour and emotional wellbeing then inspired me to train as psychodynamic psychotherapist, giving me an even deeper therapeutic understanding. More recently, I completed training as a clinical supervisor, enabling me to support and guide other professions in their therapeutic work.

My approach to therapy
An overall introduction to my work and how it can benefit clients.
I am a highly experienced Psychodynamic Psychotherapist, Couples Therapist and Child Counsellor, offering a safe, consistent and compassionate space for individuals, adolescents and couples to explore their emotional and relational challenges. My approach is grounded in psychodynamic theory, which helps us uncover how unconscious processes and early life experiences shape present-day behaviours, thoughts and feelings. Through regular weekly or twice-weekly sessions—either online or in person—we work together to make sense of difficult emotions and patterns, fostering deeper self-awareness and lasting psychological change.
I offer sessions held at the same time each week. Our work begins with an initial assessment to explore what has brought you to therapy and to ensure that the fit feels right for you. Trust and safety are central to the process, especially when working with young people and those who have experienced trauma.

- Loss, Illness, and Grief
- Emotional Disconnection
- Sexual Difficulties
- Money Worries & Parenting Stress
Domestic Abuse Support
I currently lead a Domestic Abuse clinic at Enfield Counselling and Psychotherapy Service, supporting vulnerable adults through complex and often traumatic experiences. This work requires deep empathy, consistency and care, offering clients a space where they feel safe, validated, and heard—often for the first time.
