About me
I work with clients to create lasting changes in their behaviour, thoughts, emotions, and relationships. In our work together, we explore and identify patterns in how you relate — to others and to yourself. These patterns can show up as difficulty identifying or expressing emotions, feeling disconnected from your needs, a sense of being stuck, uncertainty about what you feel, or challenges with decision-making.
I aim to foster a deeper understanding of oneself, a more flexible way of experiencing life, and a sense of moving forward. I tailor my approach to each individual, supporting clients in alleviating challenges while developing greater self-awareness and relational insight. I have a longstanding interest in human development and how neuroscience can deepen our understanding of relationships and the self.
My practice is neurodiversity-informed, and I'm committed to offering an affirming, non-judgmental space with an emphasis on diversity and inclusion — across all backgrounds, identities, and experience.
I am an approved provider for AXA Health, Aviva Health UK and Allianz Partners.
