You might be looking for therapy because you’re feeling anxious and overwhelmed. Perhaps you’re feeling stuck and repeating old patterns of behaviour, or maybe you simply need some space to work out what it is you are feeling. 

Whatever the catalyst has been, therapy can help you unpack the issues you are experiencing in a supportive and non-judgemental space. 

I have worked with a wide variety of issues over the years from an equally broad range of clients, so whilst the below list is not exhaustive, it aims to provide you with some of the issues that I work with most frequently:

• Anxiety and worry
• Anger and conflict
• Bereavement and loss
• Boarding school experiences
• Childhood abuse
• Depression and low mood
• Disordered eating and body image
• Expat related issues
• Family relationships: estrangement, divorce, infidelity
• Health: health anxiety, chronic illness
• Low self-esteem and not feeling good enough 
• Feeling overwhelmed and experiencing panic
• Parenting issues
• PTSD
• Relationships and dating
• Work and career: managing stress and pressure

I am an integrative therapist - this simply means that I trained in a variety of different therapeutic approaches. The benefit of being an integrative therapist is that I can be adaptable and flexible in terms of what each individual client needs. 

My way of working is underpinned by developmental and attachment thinking which takes into consideration how our early lives and relationships may be influencing us and playing out in the present. I work in a relational way which means that I’ll be curious about what relationships are like for you broadly, as well as valuing the importance of the relationship we are able to build in therapy together.

My approach is trauma-informed and as such I seek to create a safe, transparent and trusting space. Linked to this is an integration of body psychotherapy which means I hold an awareness of the mind-body connection which is essential in regulating our nervous systems. 

I approach all client work with empathy; this means I will seek to understand you and your experiences without judgement. I find compassion and curiosity to also be key tools, but primarily I seek to establish trust with my clients, as the success of the therapeutic outcome is based on the quality of the relationship between client and therapist. 

During a therapy session, we can explore the nature of the challenges you’re facing, discover the roots of your response and find new ways of managing feelings.
