I am a UKCP-registered psychotherapist, Certified Transactional Analyst (CTA), supervisor, and trainer working in private practice and specialist trauma services. I specialise in trauma, domestic abuse, sexual violence, and the long-term psychological impact of coercive control, working primarily with adult survivors.
I have over ten years’ clinical experience and have worked extensively within the violence against women and girls sector, including as an outreach psychotherapist for East Kent Rape Crisis Centre and as a trustee and ethics, practice, and safeguarding board member at Woman’s Trust (a charity offering free counselling to victim/survivors of domestic abuse). My clinical work includes supporting clients with Complex PTSD, dissociation, and complex developmental trauma, including experiences of ritual abuse, grooming, and sexual exploitation and trafficking.
My therapeutic approach is trauma-informed, and explicitly power-aware. Drawing on Transactional Analysis, feminist theory, and intersectional practice, I centre the survivor’s experience and work collaboratively to support safety, agency, and repair. I am particularly interested in how patriarchal, cultural, and organisational systems shape internalised scripts, ego state development, and therapeutic dynamics.
Alongside my clinical work, I deliver training and supervision for counsellors and psychotherapists, with a focus on gendered trauma, ethical practice, and working responsibly with power and control in the therapy room. My work is informed by lived experience, ongoing reflexivity, and a commitment to anti-oppressive practice.
Prior to retraining, I worked as a marketing director in the music, events and entertainment businesses and still offer marketing/brand consultancy to organisations that match my values.
I am a full clinical member of UKCP, a registered member of BACP, and a member of the International Transactional Analysis Association.
