"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 know themselves better than anyone else. Given the right space, safety and honesty, 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 am trained in several therapeutic modalities and use them flexibly, guided by what is most helpful for each individual person.

Person-Centred Therapy

The foundation of my work. This humanistic approach places you at the centre — your autonomy, your experience, your pace. I create a non-judgmental space where you feel heard and supported.

Mindfulness

Learning to be present with difficult feelings rather than avoiding or fighting them can change your relationship with anxiety, stress, and self-criticism. I use mindfulness as a way of developing awareness and equanimity in everyday life.

Psychodynamic Psychotherapy

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.

Cognitive-Behavioural (CBT)

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.

1
Getting in touch
You reach out by email, phone, or the booking form. I'll respond within 24 hours.
2
First session
The first session is a chance to meet, for you to share what's brought you to therapy, and for us to get a sense of what you'd like to work on. There's no pressure to share anything you're not ready for.
3
Ongoing work
Sessions are 50 minutes, typically weekly. I work both short-term (6 to 12 sessions) and longer-term, depending on what you need. We'll check in regularly about how things are going.
4
Confidentiality
Everything discussed in sessions is confidential, in line with the IAHIP and ICP Code of Ethics. I'll explain the limits of confidentiality clearly at the start of our work.
