A humanistic,
integrative approach
No two people are the same. I draw on several modalities and weave them together in response to what each person needs.
“You are the expert on your own life. Therapy is about creating the conditions for you to access that wisdom.”
My work is grounded in the belief that people have an innate capacity for growth and self-healing. Given the right conditions — safety, honesty, genuine connection — people tend to find their own way forward.
This means I don’t position myself as the expert who has the answers. Instead, I work alongside you, bringing curiosity, warmth, and an honest presence. You set the pace. You decide what to explore.
Self-compassion runs through everything I do. I don’t believe in being hard on yourself as a route to change. Suffering is a signal that something important needs attention — and listening to that signal, rather than pushing past it, is where real growth begins.
The approaches I draw on
I’m trained in several therapeutic modalities and use them flexibly — guided by what seems most helpful for each individual person.
The foundation of my work. This humanistic approach places you at the centre — your autonomy, your self-healing capacity, your unique experience. I create a non-judgmental space with unconditional positive regard, empathy, and genuine presence. You are not a problem to be solved.
Learning to be present with difficult feelings — rather than avoiding, suppressing or fighting them — can fundamentally change your relationship with anxiety, stress, and self-criticism. I integrate mindfulness as a way of developing awareness and equanimity, not just as a relaxation technique.
Our past shapes our present in ways we’re often unaware of. Psychodynamic approaches help us explore earlier experiences, attachment patterns, and unconscious processes that may be influencing how you think, feel, and relate today — bringing what’s hidden into the light.
CBT offers practical tools for understanding the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. I draw on these techniques especially when working with anxiety, overachievement, and overthinking — helping you identify unhelpful patterns and develop more adaptive ways of responding.
What happens in therapy
If you’ve never been to therapy before, it can help to know what to expect. There’s no script — but here’s a general sense of how things work.
