About Me
I am an Oxford University graduate specialising in psychodynamic therapy, with earlier training in integrative approaches. At Oxford University, I serve as a counsellor and supervisor for welfare teams across the collegiate university. Additionally, I manage the Oxford University Specialist Mental Health and Autism Mentoring Service within the Disability Advisory Service (DAS).
With over 18 years of experience in mental health, including more than 15 years at Oxford University, I have worked as a counsellor, supervisor, group facilitator, specialist mentor, service manager, and university staff counsellor. My professional background also includes work in drug and alcohol misuse services, homelessness, and community support for individuals with severe and enduring mental health difficulties. I am also an Independent Member of the Oxfordshire Social Services Fostering Panel.

I maintain a small private practice offering counselling, mentoring, and supervision. I currently work only online but will soon be able to offer in-person sessions.
How I work
I provide a safe and non-judgmental space in which to explore issues that are troubling you

Equally, I can offer long-term psychotherapy as required.
