About me and my practice

Life can seem stuck, overwhelming or isolating, but you don't have to face it alone. I work with clients who are looking for warm and collaborative therapy, for effective tools, easier presence or deeper reflection. I offer a place to feel genuinely supported, as we work towards meaningful change.

At the heart of therapy is the power of genuine human connection. Awareness and growth are found through established techniques, and driven by the intellectual and intuitive understanding that emerges when two people truly meet and open. In a good therapeutic relationship, you'll feel deeply seen and encouraged. A place to express and follow whatever is, without expectation or judgement.

I work with individuals facing a wide range of challenges, including:

Emotional wellbeing: Managing anxiety, insecurity, overwhelm or burnout.

Mental health: Addressing depression, stress, ADHD, addiction, self-criticism, or self-care.

Identity and confidence: Low self-esteem, trust of experience or overcoming limiting beliefs.

Relationships: Improving communication, authenticity, intimacy, and family issues.

Trauma and loss: Navigating bereavement, trauma, chronic illness, and life transitions.

Experience

My approach is integrative, reflecting our individuality, complexity and diversity. I'll meet you where you are, emotionally and relationally, and focus on helping you to understand and resolve difficulties and resistance. I'll draw from a range of therapeutic approaches, including:

Self-compassion and care: Using Person-Centred Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), we might explore how to cultivate genuine kindness, openness, and understanding.

Building resilience: Internal Family Systems (IFS) might allow us to work on identifying and integrating your different parts, towards more trust, rest and self-led action.

Your mind-body connection: Gestalt Therapy and mindfulness may help us to explore the interplay between your thoughts and feelings, fostering greater awareness, choice and peace.

Exploring life's meaning: With Existential Therapy, we could explore broader questions of purpose, freedom, responsibility identity, helping to find authenticity and greater alignment.

Practical tools: Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) could offer strategies to manage stress, find clearer thinking or shift unhelpful or outdated patterns.

You'll set the goals and I'll listen, before asking questions, offering perspectives and giving constructive challenge. Ill help to guide your reflection and expression, and to explore and articulate ideas. Therapy should be engaging, supportive and useful, something we'll keep an eye on My practice is shaped by decades of working closely with people, and guided by values of openness, care, relationship, acceptance, and empowerment. I offer curiosity and commitment to attend to what is in your way.
