About me
Are you feeling tangled up in your thoughts, emotions, or life events?
Maybe you or your young person has a nervous system experiencing shutdowns or meltdowns at home or school?
Or perhaps life feels like it's swirling around you, and you're unsure where to turn. Would you like help understanding what is going on?
I often work with clients who are;
-Experiencing anxiety around school, college or work.
-Exploring their neurodivergence through diagnostic pathways and self-discovery.
-Experiencing grief, loss and bereavement.
-Exploring their identity, life, purpose, values and sense of self.
I have a strong person-centred core, and work in an integrative way to help clients engage in therapy in a way that feels meaningful, authentic and true. This often involves creative exploration using a variety of approaches. We can explore this in your Initial Consultation or first session. I am currently completing an MA in Contemporary Relationship Studies.
I work with children 8+, young people, and adults.
I have lived experience of exploring a neurodivergent way of being, and will offer psychoeducation to help self-understanding.
We can work together to explore your anxiety, existential thinking, bereavements, and nervous systems to untangle beliefs, ideals, and values and support you in developing a greater sense of who you are and what you need and want from life.
If you would like to talk more about working together, I would love to hear from you.
