a qualified Psychotherapist (Prof. Dip Psy C. / Reg. NCPS) working with adults and teens through my bespoke private practice, empathco.

Every therapy is a new therapy. Rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach, I work collaboratively with you to understand your unique needs and support you through your particular circumstances. This is called a pluralistic approach. I put the relationship first, drawing on person-centred, psychodynamic, and attachment-based methods, alongside creative approaches such as sand tray and imagery.

My practice specialises in two areas:

Women experiencing anxiety, life-change, or loss. I work with women navigating a wide range of experiences: from grief, menopause, and the emotional weight of children leaving home, to anxiety, depression, and low self-worth. My work with the UK's largest bereavement charity, has also given me a deep understanding of loss and transition in all their forms. Whatever you're carrying, the focus is the same: making sense of it together, and finding a way forward that feels like yours.

Teens navigating the challenges that come with growing up. Before retraining as a psychotherapist, I spent a decade in pastoral and academic leadership in schools. That experience gave me a clear understanding of the pressures young people face — anxiety, identity, social dynamics, loss of confidence, masking — as well as the family systems around them and the value of working alongside parents where appropriate.
