I am a qualified integrative psychotherapist, here to help you find a way forward that truly aligns with who you are. At the heart of my approach is reconnecting with your authentic self—the part of you that often gets overshadowed by anxiety, anger, sadness, or thinking. This means that I always show up as authentically myself. I have a casual approach and I like to build close relationships with my clients so that we can embark on a journey of discovery together. While therapy takes hard work, our sessions may feel light hearted and chatty at times as I feel this balances out the difficulty of exploring emotional experiences.

I have years of experience working with young people and adults. This has led me to specialise in counselling for trauma, anxiety, self-esteem and major life changes or life transitions. While I integrate a number of different therapeutic approaches, I always focus on a person-centred starting point. This means valuing you as the expert in your life; as I work to understand your experience and sense your deeper emotions, I am able to offer approaches that will suit your needs. That being said, we will always work collaboratively, meaning that you can share whether my interventions are resonating with you or not, allowing us to tailor the work to suit who you truly are.

Together, we will explore your past and present experiences, gently untangling the layers that have shaped you. Rather than pushing parts of you away, we’ll acknowledge and understand them, showing them that it’s safe to soften. Through this process, we’ll uncover what your true self needs and find meaningful ways to meet those needs.

If you're curious about my approach, drop me a message. I am here to answer any questions you may have before starting therapy with me. Well done for taking your first step towards mental clarity.
