Our Therapists

I am a counsellor, psychotherapist, supervisor and counselling tutor with many years’ experience. I am a director of the Banbury Therapy Group which I founded with my husband in 2009.

I trained with Oxford and Cherwell College where I graduated with a Diploma in Integrative Counselling in 2006. I then went on to further train in Group and Individual Gestalt Psychotherapy at the Gestalt Centre in London. Since then I have worked with a wide variety of clients in the community and in private practice. My training and experience give me the capacity to work at depth with a broad range of issues, life situations and mental health needs. I have worked with people struggling with depression and anxiety, relationship issues, low self-esteem, personality disorders and overwhelming fears. I am particularly knowledgeable about addictive and compulsive behaviours, including alcoholism, drug dependency, eating disorders, gambling, sex, pornography and internet addiction.

I believe we are all unique and will experience life’s challenges differently, so I feel it is essential for me to offer my clients a safe space where they will be held with acceptance, empathy, and warmth. As an integrative counsellor, I will work alongside you to create a therapeutic relationship which will enable you to explore and address the issues you bring into the space. I draw on different ways of working to enable exploration of what is impacting you and your sense of emotional wellbeing, which will help you to understand how you relate to yourself and those around you.

Having worked within the emergency services sector for many years, I have extensive experience of working with trauma, depression, grief and loss. anxiety and relationship difficulties. I work with both individuals and couples. I also offer Eye Movement Desensitisation Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy for appropriate presenting issues.

Choosing the right counsellor can be daunting, especially if it's a new experience. It's crucial to find someone who suits your needs. This is your time to discuss your thoughts, fears, dilemmas, and daily events comfortably, embracing vulnerability. I offer a confidential space for you to work through challenging issues. As an integrative counsellor, I use a person-centred, humanistic approach, focusing on your conscious perception. I aim to understand your experiences from your perspective, fostering openness without judgment. Additionally, I incorporate Gestalt and Transactional Analysis therapy, enhancing awareness and exploring personality development. Our work together is shaped by you, ensuring respect, active listening, and support. Sessions progress at your comfortable pace, leading to a stronger sense of self, resilience, and inner power.

I believe that everybody can benefit from counselling. It can help you to better understand yourself, increase your self-esteem, and cope more effectively with life’s demands. It takes courage to reach out for support and this may feel uncomfortable at first. I can provide a warm and accepting space in which you are welcome to explore every aspect of yourself.

Everybody’s counselling journey should be a unique and collaborative process. You are always at the heart of the work that we do together. My approach is integrative, meaning that I draw on several different theories to tailor our sessions to your needs.

I have particular experience in working with self-harm and eating disorders, as well as issues such as anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts, body image and bereavement.

I am providing person‑centred therapy, grounded in the belief that you hold the compass to your own journey. My role is to walk alongside you, offering a steady and safe space where your thoughts and feelings can emerge at your own pace.

Together, we can explore what feels important, gently untangle what feels heavy, and make space for the strengths and resilience you already carry.

My experience within diverse communities has shaped my understanding of cultural identity, transition, belonging, and the ways people respond to change, loss, and shifting attachments.
