Making sense of your experience. Creating meaningful change.
You don’t need to have everything worked out before beginning.
You might know that something needs to change, or feel stuck without being able to say exactly why.
Therapy can begin there: with what is happening now, and with whatever feels important enough to bring.
Face-to-face psychotherapy at Oakwood Therapy Centre, Crawshawbooth.
Who I work with
I work with adults who may have thought a great deal about themselves and still find that something keeps coming back, getting in the way, or proving difficult to change.
- finding yourself caught in similar patterns in relationships;
- reacting strongly to situations without quite understanding why;
- being very hard on yourself, even when you know it is not helping.
How I work
You may already understand a lot.
You might recognise your patterns, know where some of them come from, and still find yourself getting caught in the same places. Knowing why something happens doesn’t always make it easier to change.
In therapy, we can look more closely at what keeps happening, how it takes hold, and what might begin to change. I may ask questions, notice patterns or challenge something when that seems useful. We’ll work out together what fits and what doesn’t.
About me
I came to psychotherapy later in life, returning to university as an adult before qualifying as an integrative psychotherapist. I’m a Registered Member of BACP (MBACP), and that later route into the profession still shapes how I listen and how I think about change.

Questions you might have
Starting therapy can bring up questions. You might be wondering whether you need to know exactly what you want to work on, what happens in the first conversation, or what to do if something in the therapy doesn’t feel right.
