About me


If you’re feeling overwhelmed, lost in transition, or quietly struggling to understand yourself or your relationships, you’re not alone — and you don’t have to figure it out by yourself.

I offer a warm, non-judgmental, trauma-informed space where you can feel heard and supported at your own pace. Many people I work with appear to cope well on the outside, yet feel emotionally exhausted, stuck in repeating patterns, or weighed down by shame.

I support adults experiencing emotional distress, relationship difficulties, addiction or compulsive coping, neurodivergence (including ADHD and autistic traits), and the challenges of adjusting to life in a new country. Together, we’ll work to make sense of your experiences and move towards greater clarity, resilience, and connection.

My approach is pluralistic, meaning our work is shaped collaboratively around your needs, preferences, and goals. There is no one-size-fits-all in therapy. I draw from a range of therapeutic approaches and regularly check in with you to ensure our work feels meaningful and supportive.

You don’t need a diagnosis or clear goals to begin — we can start wherever you are.

Further information

My approach is pluralistic, meaning I draw from a range of therapeutic models rather than sticking to just one. This allows me to adapt our work to what best suits you as an individual- exploring emotions, building practical tools, understanding patterns, or supporting change at your pace. I integrate approaches like person-centred therapy, CBT, DBT, trauma-informed care, and Motivational Interviewing
