I believe that healing starts with connection. I practise therapy in a relational way, meaning the connection between therapist and client is itself a source of insight and potential transformation. While relationships can be a source of wounding, they are fundamentally where we can also heal and grow.  I aim to be authentic, compassionate, curious and attuned to your needs, and listen to you without judgement.

I trained in integrative therapy, which adapts elements from various psychotherapeutic models and techniques to best suit the unique needs of each individual client. My training included person-centred,  psychodynamic and gestalt approaches — to find out more you can click the links.

I intend to be more than just a neutral observer in therapy, rather an active participant, providing feedback, offering insights, and gently challenging you when needed. Together, we can reflect on your relationship with yourself and those around you and bring awareness to patterns that may be holding you back, helping to deepen your understanding of your experiences. Patterns of behaviour, communication, and emotional responses in relationships — both current and past — can be influenced by early life experiences, such as family dynamics, and can affect how individuals relate to others in their adult life.

I also bring somatic awareness into my work, recognising that our bodies often sense and respond to our emotions and needs before our minds fully catch up. During sessions, I may gently invite you to tune into your body’s felt experience as part of our exploration.

I work from a trauma-informed perspective, acknowledging the lasting impact of trauma and prioritising safety, trust and choice in the therapeutic relationship. I aim to support you to heal at a pace that feels manageable to your own needs.
