I work with people across the UK, both online and in person from my practice in Ilkeston, Derbyshire.

Perhaps you’re here because you’ve outgrown something; an old version of you, a long term relationship or maybe a role at work that no longer fits. You're not in crisis, but you’re at a point where you recognise something needs to change and you’re not sure how to make sense of it.

Before training in psychotherapy, I spent twenty + years in corporate leadership roles and latterly as a charity director.

My work brings together leadership wisdom with more than fifteen years as an integrative psychotherapist. It means I understand both organisational life and ‘inner’ life, and how each shapes the other.

Psychotherapy is not just for ‘people who are really traumatised’ or for when ‘things are really bad’. It can also offer a deeply thoughtful space to reflect about what’s going on for you and to think differently about how to navigate what next.

My approach is integrative, trauma informed, attachment focussed and brings together cognitive behavioural work through a relational and somatic (body based) lens. It essentially means it’s concerned with the whole of you. How your environment impacts you as well as your unique patterns of relating, thinking, feeling and behaving and exploring how the body holds your memories too.

The work is guided by me but a mutual consultation where we collaborate on finding out what’s getting in your way (usually, if not always influenced by the past), how it’s impacting you in the here and now and what you want to change going forward.

You get to think more deeply about yourself, your work and your life. It is intended to be a strengthening, enlightening and containing process.
