About me
As a therapist, I support you to meet life's challenges and appreciate its gifts.
Are you struggling in your relationship, or finding life's demands overwhelming? Maybe you're feeling stuck in a current situation in your life or held back by something from your past. In therapy, it becomes possible to turn towards what hurts and to reconnect with a sense of wellness and freedom within yourself. I offer a dynamic therapeutic relationship where we delve into this process together. Rather than sit outside as an "expert observer", I'll be there in the ring with you.
I am trained in Core Process Psychotherapy, an approach grounded in contemplative neuroscience, Western psychodynamic theory, Eastern wisdom traditions and the role of the nervous system in trauma and healing.
What I help with:
I work with individuals from a wide variety of lives and backgrounds. I am queer and affirm neurodiversity, and I have particular experience working with ADHD and individuals from the LGBTQ+ community. I also have experience supporting clients affected by emotionally immature parenting, narcissistic abuse and family estrangement. Here are some of the things I can help with:
- Finding more freedom, ease and direction in life
Getting to know your authentic self - Noticing and letting go of repetitive, unhelpful patterns
- Recovery from toxic family systems and scapegoating
- Learning about neurodivergence and exploring how best to support yourself
- Navigating grief after a significant loss
- Adapting to a major life transition
- Processing difficult events in childhood and adulthood
- Exploring sexual and gender identity
I offer a safe, non- judgemental therapeutic relationship where you can come as you are and all is welcome.
If you feel that this might be what you're looking for I invite you to book a free consultation by emailing me today or booking directly through my website.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am qualified in Mindfulness-Based Core Process Psychotherapy which I obtained with the Karuna Institute. This is a trauma-informed relational, psychodynamic, and somatic approach. Additionally, I am informed by Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).
I also have a BPS recognised MSc in Psychology and an AFT recognised Foundation Level qualification in Systemic Family Practice.
