A BACP registered integrative therapist based in London, working online with people across the UK.
I have spent over twenty years inside religious communities, so I understand the culture, the language and the unspoken rules. You won't have to explain the basics, and you won't be judged for where you've landed.
I'm not here to restore your faith or take it from you – this is your process, and my job is to help you feel less alone in it.
What I Offer
Spaces to Process
Those Leaving Faith
Grieving a community, a belief system, or a version of yourself you're no longer sure fits. Faith deconstruction isn't just intellectual – it can bring guilt, anger, fear and a grief that's hard to explain to anyone still inside.
LGBTQIA+ Affirming
Growing up where who you are was unwelcome, unspoken, or something to hide – and carrying that into how safe you feel now, even in spaces meant to be accepting. This is an affirming space where every part of your story is welcome.
Religious Trauma & Spiritual Abuse
Sometimes it's more than doubt. If religion was used to control, shame or silence you, the effects can stay in your body long after you've left: anxiety, perfectionism, fear of punishment, difficulty trusting yourself. Therapy can help you untangle what was done to you from who you are.
Parenting Without Repeating the Past
Wanting to raise your children with warmth instead of fear, while still untangling the patterns – guilt, control, certainty – you inherited and didn't choose.

Notes From the Journey
The majority of clients I have worked with have faced their journey in isolation out of fear of rejection, abandonment or punishment; some even remain within the religious environment despite their inner-world being completely reshaped.
Whether you’ve been a person of faith all your life, or for only a number of years, it’s valuable to reflect on how
For the majority of those who deconstruct their faith, the silent grief and pain is a very lonely path because there is literally no one they can share this with - or at the very least - no one who would truly understand.
Doubt, Faith Deconstruction and Leaving the Church Behind One of the most painful experiences for someone who has grown up in religion is the journey
