About me and my practice

Life can sometimes be overwhelming and isolating, but you don't have to face it alone. I work with clients who are looking for warm and collaborative therapy, towards practical tools and deeper self-reflection. I offer a space where you'll feel genuinely supported as we work together toward meaningful change.

At the heart of therapy is the power of a genuine human connection. Trust and safety are not just built through structured techniques but also through the intuitive understanding that emerges when two people truly connect. In a good therapeutic relationship, you'll find a space where you feel deeply seen, heard, and understood, where you can process your thoughts and feelings without judgement or conditions.

I support individuals facing a wide range of challenges, including:

-Emotional wellbeing: Managing anxiety, insecurity, overwhelm, and burnout.
-Mental health: Addressing depression, stress, ADHD, addiction, self-criticism, and enhancing self-care.
-Identity and confidence: Low self-esteem, and overcoming limiting beliefs.
-Relationships: Improving communication, intimacy, and handling family issues.
-Trauma and loss: Navigating bereavement, trauma, chronic illness, and life transitions.

Experience

My approach is integrative, drawing from a range of therapeutic approaches tailored to you. For example:

-Self-compassion and care: Using Person-Centred Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), we might explore how to cultivate kindness, openness, and understanding.
-Your mind-body connection: Gestalt Therapy may help us explore the interplay between your thoughts and emotions, fostering greater self-awareness and presence.
-Exploring life's meaning: With Existential Therapy, we could explore questions of purpose, freedom, and identity.
-Building resilience: Internal Family Systems (IFS) might allow us to work on integrating your different parts, toward inner balance, trust and peace.
-Practical tools: Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) could offer strategies to manage stress, shift unhelpful patterns, and improve relationships.

We'll set goals and I'll ask thoughtful questions, offer alternative perspectives, and guide reflections to explore and articulate meaning in a complete and supportive way. My practice is shaped by years of working closely with people and guided by values of openness, care, relationship, acceptance, and empowerment. I offer care, curiosity, and thoughtful challenges to help you focus on what matters most.
