My approach is integrative and client centred, gentle yet sufficiently challenging and always tailored to your specific needs. I pay close attention to how safe and steady you are feeling and adapt our work accordingly.

I understand that starting therapy can feel daunting, and you may be unsure if it’s right for you. That’s why I offer a free 15 minutes consultation where we can explore your concerns, and I can answer any questions you have.

The first session is an assessment session. We’ll take time to understand what’s going on for you, what you hope to achieve in therapy, and how we can work together. There will be no obligation for you to enter into therapy and you will not be pressured. The most important thing is that you feel comfortable with the therapist you choose to work with.

Life throws curveballs. We all face challenges, big and small, that can leave us feeling lost, overwhelmed, or stuck. Whether it's navigating relationship issues, managing anxiety or depression, or simply seeking personal growth, seeking support is a sign of strength.

I offer a respectful and confidential safe environment to enable you to express your feelings without fear of judgement and allowing free exploration of thoughts and concerns. I work with adults and young people (age 18+), including university students.

By being in tune with how you are feeling and by understanding your experiences, I will support you so that you can focus and gain some clarity. When we make the connections to the root of difficult patterns of thoughts and behaviours, we begin to see a way forward and realise how we can facilitate change, and work towards a growing sense of inner peace and contentment.

My way of working is gentle but sufficiently challenging to help you grow and ensuring that I work at a pace that suits you. In all cases, however, I seek to establish a safe, accepting and trusting environment, in which the client feels fully able to explore issues and find ways forward. If this is something that you feel you would like to try, then please contact me to discuss how I can help.
