Availability
I am currently offering online sessions with flexible availability. From July onwards, in person psychotherapy is available at Inner Bloom in Stamford. My waitlist is open for all in person therapy.
About me and my therapy practice
I offer a space where you can pause, breathe, and finally feel held. A space where you don’t have to have it all figured out—just a place to begin.
My work is grounded in a relational, psychodynamic approach, exploring how early experiences and relationships shape your inner world and the patterns that may continue into adult life. With care and curiosity, I support you in making sense of these patterns, creating space for deeper awareness, emotional clarity, and lasting, meaningful change.
I am a qualified psychotherapist and work in accordance with ethical guidelines. I am committed to ongoing professional development, continually deepening my knowledge and practice to ensure I offer thoughtful, informed, and up-to-date support. My experience includes working with anxiety, depression, family challenges, trauma, loss, fertility journeys, relationship difficulties, and significant life transitions.
Alongside psychotherapy, I also offer sound therapy as a separate, holistic experience. These sessions provide a deeply restorative space to calm the nervous system, ease anxiety, and support emotional healing—particularly if you are navigating trauma. While distinct from psychotherapy, sound therapy can offer a gentle continuation of care, supporting you beyond the therapeutic process.
I work in a way that is thoughtful, intuitive, and deeply collaborative. With a gentle, philosophical openness, I place you at the centre of the process—supporting you to feel more confident, self-aware, and empowered in your choices and direction. Each session is guided by your pace, your needs, and your unique story.
Practice description
My private psychotherapy practice will be opening in July in Stamford, Lincolnshire, where I offer in-person sessions alongside online individual psychotherapy through Inner Bloom.
I founded Inner Bloom as a space dedicated to psychotherapy and bespoke sound therapy, bringing together a holistic approach that supports both the mind and body. At the heart of my work is a deep intention to create a safe, compassionate environment where you can feel truly held, allowing space for healing, self-exploration, and meaningful transformation.
I have experience working with neurodiversity and welcome those from neurodiverse backgrounds, offering therapy that is adaptable, respectful, and tailored to your individual way of experiencing the world.
My first session
Psychotherapy is a deeply collaborative process. It isn’t something that is done to you, but a space we gently create together—a place where you can slow down, feel supported, and begin to explore whatever you may be carrying.
Rather than offering a quick fix, psychotherapy is a process of discovery. Over time, it can help you develop a deeper understanding of yourself, create meaningful shifts in how you relate to others, and find new ways of being that feel more aligned and authentic.
Our sessions are always led by you. You are free to bring whatever feels right, at a pace that feels safe. My role is to walk alongside you—offering guidance, reflection, and insight where it feels helpful—while holding a space that is calm, attuned, and non-judgemental.
Sessions usually take place once a week (or more frequently if needed), at the same time each week, and last for 50 minutes. I understand that choosing a therapist can feel like an important step, and it’s essential that you feel comfortable and able to trust the person you’re working with. The relationship we build together sits at the heart of the therapeutic process and is often where the deepest healing begins.
