My Approach
I support clients who come to sessions wanting to work on a specific issue, or just to get some clarity on their life.
I have experience of working with complex mental health conditions, complex grief, feelings of suicidality and trauma, particularly around women's lived experiences. My practice focuses on creating a safe space for us to work in together. The way we will work together is flexible, I will work with you to find what works for you, rather than expecting you to fit a box.
I work in a sex positive way and work with LGBTQ+ community. I also work from a Health at Every Size (HAES) perspective, with an Intuitive Eating approach aimed towards healing from self esteem issues. I have experience of and enjoy working with other therapists and therapists-in-training.

We will always work at a pace you feel comfortable with. My sessions are charged at £65 per session. My therapy room is located in St Albans City centre.

Women's Experiences​
As well as running a thriving private practice, I work in the Women's' Sector supporting survivors of sexual violence. I have in depth experience in supporting survivors of CSA and adult assault. Therapy can provide a space to start thinking about your experiences safely.

Grief
I have in depth-training and lived experience, around complex grief; particularly death by suicide, death from murder and grieving a family member you had a difficult relationship with.
