Therapists
I am a British-trained psychotherapist and the founder of Woodward Wellbeing, working with adults navigating trauma, loss, addiction, neurodiversity (especially ADHD), burnout and relational strain. I support high-functioning professionals and individuals moving through periods of transition or identity change. I have a particular interest in women’s health, including perimenopause, midlife shifts and stress-related dysregulation. My integrative approach combines psychological depth with a mind–body perspective, helping clients understand both their emotional world and the physiological patterns that shape it. I’m direct, compassionate and collaborative, offering a warm and grounded therapeutic presence. Creating a safe, supportive space where you can explore your experience with honesty and clarity at a pace that feels right for you sits at the heart of my approach.
I believe effective therapy is built on a strong therapeutic relationship. Creating a space that feels grounding, respectful and attuned — where you can bring your experience without pressure and at a pace that feels right for you — is fundamental to my approach. I am adaptive in approach meeting you where you are at and, your subjective perspective and the wider social, cultural and psychological context in which your experiences sit. I aim to facilitate the promotion of agency, autonomy and ownership by working collaboratively to help you understand your experience and make choices that align with your needs and values. I hold an awareness of both past and present, exploring how patterns of thought, emotion and relating may be shaping the challenges you’re navigating, while also drawing on practical, present-focused strategies that support everyday clarity and resilience. Alongside individual therapy, I offer integrative couples work that helps partners understand relational patterns shaped by attachment, stress and communication habits. Sessions create space to rebuild connection, strengthen communication and develop more aligned ways of relating.
Before qualifying as a psychotherapist, I worked in the health, fitness and wellbeing sector as a coach specialising in behavioural change and the psychology of motivation. This continues to shape my integrative therapeutic style, blending depth-oriented psychotherapy with practical, forward-focused methods that support meaningful change through life’s transitions. With a background in yoga, movement and somatic awareness, my work is grounded in mind–body understanding and nervous-system regulation, which I integrate to help clients reconnect with safety, presence and internal steadiness. My practice is trauma-informed and nervous-system aware, informed by experience across psychoeducational programmes, CBT-informed group work for the Body Dysmorphic Disorder Foundation, as well as roles within addiction services, bereavement support, community mental-health projects and therapeutic work in prison and criminal-justice settings.
