About me
I offer a safe space to talk, explore and make sense of things
Life can feel difficult at times. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, relationships, loss, low mood or simply feeling overwhelmed, having a safe, non-judgemental space to talk can make a real difference.
I’m an experienced integrative psychotherapist, working with children, young people and adults. I believe that everyone is unique, and that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to therapy. You are the expert in your own life, and my role is to walk alongside you, offering support, understanding and a space where you can explore whatever feels important to you.
I draw on a range of therapeutic approaches, including Person-Centred, Psychodynamic and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). Together, we can find an approach that feels right for you and work at a pace that feels comfortable.
I have experience supporting people with a wide range of challenges, including:
Anxiety and stress
Depression and low mood
Relationships and interpersonal difficulties
Grief, loss and bereavement
Addiction
Attachment and emotional difficulties
Difficulties at school
Bullying
Life changes and periods of uncertainty
Working with children and young people
When working with children and young people, I use creative, engaging and age-appropriate techniques to help them express and understand their feelings. Sometimes it can be difficult to put emotions into words, so therapy can include creative activities and other ways of communicating that feel natural and comfortable. My aim is to provide a space where children and young people feel heard, understood and accepted, without judgement.
Therapy that works for you
I offer face-to-face, or online sessions, giving you the flexibility to choose the setting that feels most comfortable.
I understand that taking the first step towards therapy can feel daunting. You don’t need to have everything figured out before you get in touch, and you don’t need to know exactly what you need help with.
If you’re wondering whether therapy might be right for you, I’d be very happy to have an introductory call. This gives us an opportunity to talk about what’s bringing you to therapy, answer any questions you may have and see whether I might be the right therapist for you.
You don’t have to navigate things alone. I’m here to walk alongside you 🌻
