PSYCHOTHERAPIST OF THE YEAR 2025
‘Prestige Awards’
At the heart of my work is a steady foundation of empathy, authenticity, and unconditional positive regard - creating a space where you can feel truly seen, heard, and safe.
Together, we’ll develop insight, resilience, and practical tools that help you reconnect with your inner strength and create meaningful forward movement.
Support
Gentle, steady, and collaborative
You’re supported to bring things into the open, make sense of your experiences, and process challenges in a way that feels manageable.
I offer thoughtful reflection and gentle enquiry - never interpretation or assumption.
You’re not doing this alone.
Approach
Flexible & client-led
I work in a way that adapts to each individual. For some people, a more open, non-directive approach feels right. Others prefer more structure or guidance at certain points. We’ll shape the work together, responding to what you need as it emerges.
The approach is tailored to you.
Integration
Insight, integration & self-direction
Over time, this work can support a deeper understanding of yourself - your patterns, motivations, and core beliefs. Many people develop greater clarity, self-trust, and the confidence to make choices that feel more aligned with who they are and how they want to live.
Greater clarity and self-direction.
Testimonials
“I was very nervous about starting therapy as it was such a new concept to me. I have come to really look forward to our weekly sessions. You have been a great support to me through a very difficult time.”
“I knew I was ready for therapy and I knew I was “stuck” with no idea how to move forward or what the future holds. You quickly worked out how to tailor to my needs and experience. I need plain speaking and no beating around the bush. Good rapport which of course is the critical thing in a therapeutic relationship…”
“My life has changed a lot since starting therapy. I have stronger relationships, getting enjoyment out of day-to-day life, and learning how to be kind to myself.”
“You provide the right amount of challenge through your reflections, leading me to significant personal breakthroughs. Thanks to your gentleness I always feel held, supported and safe in our sessions.”
“You have a calm but incisive and kind manner and I was fully engaged and invested in the sessions. I was impressed with how much you remembered between sessions needing little recap. Time felt like it was spent well. Several lightbulb moments and I have run with those ideas which has been really positive. I was very comfortable throughout even digging into some rather unpleasant places…”
“As a former therapy sceptic, when I arrived I was quite broken. However, this was exactly what I needed. Thank you for helping me make sense of my life after loss.”
“This process has helped me to re-frame the way I view myself. I have never felt more empowered. I understand myself and my triggers on a new level and this has brought me newfound peace in my life.”
“I had been troubled by anxiety attacks – that has faded greatly I assume a function of becoming more comfortable within myself. I can now look to the future with at least curiosity, if not yet enthusiasm, rather than the dark fog which was all I could see. My expectations were exceeded by the sessions and I feel in a much better place. Thank you.”
“I would have never imagined I would be where I am today when I began therapy. I’m so proud of everything I have achieved, and I am so grateful to you for helping me get here.”
