Therapy in Lymington, Hampshire & online
Reaching out takes courage. Whether you’ve been thinking about this for a while or something has just shifted, I’m glad you’re here. Let’s talk about what you need.
Before we begin, I offer an initial consultation. It’s a chance for us to meet, talk through what’s bringing you to therapy, and get a sense of whether we’re a good fit. No pressure, no commitment. Just a conversation.
My Approach
My approach is pluralistic, which means I don’t apply a single method to everyone who walks through the door. I draw on CBT, DBT, psychodynamic work, and other frameworks depending on what you’re bringing and what’s likely to help. The shape of our work is built around you.
At the same time, I’m not a passive presence. I guide the process. I bring structure, direction, and clinical knowledge to every session, while staying completely responsive to what you’re experiencing. We move at a pace that suits you, but I’ll also know when to push gently and when something needs closer attention.
This is what I mean by bespoke therapy. Not a programme. Not a checklist. A way of working that’s genuinely tailored to you, shaped by what you bring and where you want to go.
Eating Disorders
Eating disorders are rarely about food. By the time someone arrives in a therapy room, the behaviours might be visible. What’s much harder to see is the emotional anguish driving them: the shame, the need for control, the sense of a body that doesn’t feel safe or your own.
I’m a qualified specialist in eating disorder therapy, trained through the National Centre for Eating Disorders. I work with the whole person. Not the diagnosis, not the behaviours in isolation, but the human being underneath them. What we’re really working on, in most cases, is the pain that the eating disorder has been managing.
I work with anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder, ARFID, and disordered eating more broadly. Whether you’re in the early stages of recognising a problem or have been living with this for years, there’s no judgement here. Just a clinician who understands the complexity of these conditions and who’s genuinely committed to helping you find another way.
Pregnancy & Baby Loss
The grief that comes with losing a pregnancy or a baby is like no other. It’s often invisible to the outside world, and yet it can shape everything: your relationships, your sense of your own body, your capacity to hope again.
I’m an accredited Master Practitioner and Rainbow Baby Specialist with the Foundation for Infant Loss. I work with people navigating miscarriage, stillbirth, abortion, and the complex, layered grief that can follow each of these. I also work with people carrying a rainbow baby, where the joy of a new pregnancy sits alongside real and often overwhelming fear.
Infertility brings its own particular kind of loss too: the grief of something that hasn’t happened, the toll of treatment, the strain on relationships, the uncertainty of not knowing how the story ends. There’s space for all of it here.
Psychosexual & Relationship Therapy
Relationships are complicated. So is sex. And yet these are often the very things people find hardest to talk about, even in a therapy room.
I’m a psychosexual therapist in training and a student member of the College of Sexual and Relationship Therapists (COSRT). I work comfortably and explicitly with questions of intimacy, desire, sexual difficulty, and everything in between. Nothing you bring will shock me. Nothing is off limits.
For couples, I work with communication breakdowns, affairs, and disconnection, as well as with intimacy difficulties and questions about whether to stay or go. I don’t referee. I help regulate the temperature in the room and give you tools to speak rather than sulk, to ask rather than demand. My couples work is LGBTQA+ friendly.
For individuals, this might mean working through the impact of a difficult sexual history, navigating desire discrepancy within a relationship, exploring identity, or untangling shame that has built up around sex and the body over years. Whatever it is, I’m here for the whole conversation.
Individual Therapy
Do you wake up in the morning and dread the day ahead? Are patterns from your past showing up in your present in ways you can’t seem to shift?
Individual therapy is a space to explore whatever’s weighing on you. Anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, grief, trauma, anger, relationship difficulties, life transitions. Some people come for a focused piece of work around a specific issue. Others stay longer to explore deeper patterns. Either is absolutely fine.
I work with adults (18+) who are ready to look honestly at what’s getting in their way, even if they’re not yet sure what that is or how to change it.
Other Issues I Work With
Alongside my specialist areas, I support people through a wide range of difficulties. Relationship struggles, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, body image concerns, grief and loss, anger, stress, trauma, and life transitions. I work with people navigating kink within their relationships, recovering from affairs, and working through body shame.
If you’re dealing with substance misuse, self-harm, panic attacks, PTSD, or the impact of adverse childhood experiences, there’s space for that here too. Whatever you’re facing, if it matters to you, it matters in this room.
