About me

As a humanistic therapist, I work with individuals and couples experiencing a wide range of challenges, including anxiety, low mood, depression, relationship difficulties, attachment issues, trauma, grief, self-confidence, and self-esteem.

My approach is grounded in the belief that each person’s story is unique. I tailor my work to meet your specific needs and circumstances, rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach. Whether you’re seeking to understand yourself more deeply, navigate difficult emotions, or improve your relationships, therapy can offer the space to do so.

I provide a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental environment where you can freely express yourself and feel understood. I aim to create a relationship built on trust and empathy, where you can begin to heal and grow. With compassion and curiosity, I’ll support you in developing greater self-awareness, self-acceptance, and the possibility for meaningful change.

I recognise that mental health is a personal journey with no fixed timeline. We will navigate this path together, encouraging patience and self-compassion along the way. 

Training, qualifications & experience

I have MSc in Humanistic Psychotherapy and am a UKCP registered therapist. I continue to develop my skill set and gain experience in the mental health sector.
