How I Work

Whatever challenges you're facing, I provide a comfortable, confidential space that's safe and non-judgemental. I believe empathy, realness and respect are the bedrock of effective therapy. I often work with people to re-engage with the part of themselves that is loving, passionate and purposeful, a part that has often been kept hidden or feels suffocated, and to come back to life in a confident and often transformative way.

​

Whatever brings you to therapy, whether anxiety, low mood or feeling stuck, my particular interest is in what lies underneath it: the patterns of addiction, codependency and self-esteem that so often generate the struggles on the surface. We can absolutely work with the symptoms. The reason change lasts is that we also work with their source.

​

As an integrative therapist, I use various techniques and approaches to suit your needs and preferences. That might involve developing mindfulness practices, exploring childhood relationships (psychodynamic), examining present-day thought and behaviour patterns (cognitive behavioural), or creative methods such as visualisations and drawing.

​

Therapy with me also adapts to how you think and process. If you're autistic, have ADHD, or recognise those characteristics in yourself without a diagnosis, we adjust the things that make sessions workable: pacing, communication style, how much structure there is, processing time, and sensory needs. That's a matter of fit, not of anything needing to be fixed.
