My Approach

My approach to working with you is to start from where you are, and encourage a commitment to yourself and your personal development. The aim is to build a safe and regular thinking space to explore all aspects of your life. Together we would think about what isn't working for you, and recognise repeating patterns in your relationships, and in other areas where difficulties arise, such as work. Awareness of these patterns is, I believe, the first step towards change. I offer both brief or long term therapy, with more than once weekly sessions where indicated. An initial consultation session will help us plan what might be best for you. I am committed to aim to work in a way which incorporates an intersectional approach in relation to issues of power, privilege and position.
