My Approach

My way of working is based on an integrative training, which means I call on various modalities, for example attachment theory (how you formulate and experience relationships), person-centred (you are the expert on yourself; I help draw out this information) and relational (what’s happening between us here and now.)

My experience of psychotherapy began when I sought therapy myself. I found it to be life-changing. I wanted to create for others what I had received: space, time and generous, attentive focus on whatever I needed to bring. Whatever might have brought you to this point, I provide a safe, non-judgemental and confidential space separate from your family and social group, in which to explore whatever you want to bring. I offer short term work (6-12 sessions) longer term (6 months to a year or longer) I work online and in-person, in a therapy room setting and walk and talk therapy in nature.

Each clients' needs are unique, and I am therefore led by you; your lived experience of the world and your sense of place within it. For 50 minutes, one day a week, you can be present and alive to your thoughts, feelings, memories and sensations in a way that life may prevent you from being.

About Me

I work with adults (18+) on a one-to-one basis to assist you to process, respond to or engage with whatever might be preventing you from living your life to its fullest and happiest. As well as anxiety, depression, low self esteem, burn-out and complex trauma, my specialisms include

Fertility concerns such as IVF and miscarriage
Family and sibling relationships
GSRD (Gender, Sexual and Relationship Diversity) issues
Minority stress (experienced by those who do not identify as white, cis, heterosexual, or neuro-typical)

There are many reasons why you might be thinking about trying therapy. It could be experiences from your childhood or more recent history which have been left unresolved, leading to anxiety, depression or toxic cycles of behaviour. It might be what you are experiencing in the here and now; we are living in a time of great uncertainty, change and responsibility, with more access to information and more choice than ever before. This, combined with the pressure created by social media to appear happy and successful, can feel overwhelming.

Before undertaking my psychotherapy training, I worked in pressured, results-based environments. I understand what it's like to have to manage multiple responsibilities, attempt to meet the expectations of others and feel overwhelmed.

By giving yourself the opportunity to examine your fears, motivations and actions with the help of a psychotherapist, I believe it is possible to gain clarity and understanding which can be transformative.
