About me

I'm an Integrative Psychotherapist, offering both talking and creative therapy, in person and online. I work with adults, young people and teens. I'm friendly, respectful and collaborative, building an approach that fosters safety and exploration. My work is person-centred, mindful and trauma informed. You are very welcome to email me or book a free call to find out more.

Starting therapy can be anxiety provoking, as it is stepping into the unknown. It can involve looking at things we would rather not face, but this can be approached gently and at the pace that suits you. We will take the time to build trust, I will be alongside you as you develop your inner resources, supporting you through your process of enquiry and change.

As a creative therapist I have additional ways of working that may be new to you. People often find that creative therapy can shift blocks more effectively than just talking. It helps us to make discoveries and look at things from a fresh perspective. We can work with visual and digital arts, sand tray, clay, movement, bodywork, stories, puppets, poetry and dreams.

Typically, people turn to therapy when they are having a hard time. You might be feeling lost, lonely or stuck, or wondering where you fit in. You might be suffering with distressing symptoms, such as anxiety, low self-worth and depression. Many people coming into therapy are struggling with big questions: How can I develop self-esteem and purpose in this uncertain world? Is it possible to move on from painful past experiences? How can I find lasting and satisfying relationships? Who am I really and who do I want to become? Therapy can help with all these challenges, providing relief and helping us to grow and thrive. 

Please get in touch and we can have a conversation about your needs.
