About me
I understand how important it is to feel safe, heard, and respected when expressing difficult emotions and exploring past experiences.
At times, we can find ourselves struggling with insecurities, feelings of worthlessness, or overwhelm. These experiences can create confusion and frustration around identity, relationships, and other areas of life.
I work with a range of presenting issues, which vary from stress and depression to personality disorders and attachment, as well as life transitions and making sense of troubling dreams.
I have experience supporting a diverse range of people with many different life challenges. Together, we can explore how the past may be influencing the present, including trauma, complex bereavement, adverse childhood experiences, and family dynamics.
Often, we develop self-destructive or unhelpful coping behaviours as a way of managing painful feelings. I can help you understand these patterns and support you in developing healthier ways of coping.
Sometimes, understanding why we feel and respond in certain ways can begin to repair the effects of shame, despair, and emptiness. Where helpful, I offer simple, jargon-free psychoeducation to support this process.
I am trained to work in an integrative and collaborative way, which means I adapt my approach to suit you and your individual needs. You may already know what has or hasn’t felt helpful in therapy before, and I will always listen to your experiences and preferences.
I will never push you to talk about anything you are not ready to explore. We will work at a pace that feels manageable for you, and when you are ready, I will be there alongside you.
Please email me for further information, and to tell me a little about what's going on for you.
