My Approach

Person-Centred & Experiential Psychotherapy (MSc)

About Me

Taking the first step toward therapy can feel daunting, but you are not alone. Whether facing a specific challenge or simply feeling things don’t feel that great, you are in the right place. Everyone’s journey is different. My role is to offer you a confidential and therapeutic space where you feel safe to explore what matters most to you.

I offer support with a range of experiences, including:
• Anxiety and depression.
• Relationship issues and challenges within families.
• Low self-esteem and low confidence.
• Exploration related to a sense of disconnection or emptiness despite an outwardly successful or supported life.
• Historic or current emotional, physical and/or sexual abuse, including gaslighting, coercive relationships, domestic abuse and/or violence.
• Trauma.
• Self-harm and suicidal thoughts.
• Bereavement and loss.

A qualified MSc Person-Centred & Experiential Psychotherapist, offering therapy for adults through private practice.
I have extensive experience that includes working largely in the community, with:
• Nottingham Counselling Service.
• Nottingham Trent University.
• Nottingham Women’s Centre.
• Childline.

I’ve developed a deep understanding of how challenges within relationships or past life experiences – such as trauma or abuse – can affect emotional and physical wellbeing in adulthood. And how influences of gender, power and oppression within the communities and societies we live, inform and shape our internal worlds.

To support work in these areas I have completed specialized training that includes:
• Trauma-informed therapy.
• Self-harm and suicide.
• Mental health.

I’ve been where you are, seeking therapy, to support my role as a professional. I am committed to providing a therapeutic space where you feel safe to explore your unique experiences – whether you identify as female, male or beyond the binary. Where you can feel truly heard and supported, no matter what you’ve been through.

What is person-centred therapy? A warm and supportive space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings openly and safely. An alternative to giving advise or solutions, I’ll support you reconnect with your own internal resources. You set the pace in exploring what feels most important to you. Being deeply heard without judgement or labels but with compassion and empathy helps you to gain clarity and understanding.

How experiential therapy works – it goes beyond just talking. By actively engaging with how emotions show up in your body – through improving awareness, imagery or other creative approaches – you can access deeper feelings and insight. This type of therapy encourages self-discovery through experience, allowing you to process emotions in a way that feels real and transformative.

Therapy is a collaborative process, and while person-centred and experiential psychotherapy will be at the heart of our work, we can also draw on other approaches relevant to your experiences. Insights from attachment theory, internal family systems or solution-focused techniques for example, ensures therapy feels meaningful and relevant to you.

Therapy can support you to…
• Feel more connected to your emotions in a deeper way.
• Develop strategies to manage anxiety and overwhelm.
• Align your thoughts, feelings, and body for improved balance.
• Improve communication and confidence in expressing your needs.
• Build more meaningful and fulfilling relationships.
• Navigate social situations with greater ease.
