My Approach:

‍At the heart of my approach is genuine empathy and compassion. I believe the client-therapist relationship plays a vital role in the therapeutic process, so my priority is to develop a relationship with you in which you feel heard, feel seen, and feel safe.

As an integrative therapist, my approach draws from multiple therapeutic approaches, including psychodynamic, person-centred, and cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT), allowing me to tailor my approach to suit your individual needs.

• Person-Centred Therapy: Focussed on empathy and understanding, my aim is to create a safe environment for us to explore what you are experiencing, and for you to feel heard.
• Psychodynamic Therapy: Focussed on exploring and understanding how your past has impacted you. Gaining a greater awareness of the way your past has shaped your present allows you to make more informed, empowered choices about your future.
• Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy: Focussed on providing practical tools that can help you understand and change unhelpful patterns of thinking and behaviour.

My Experience:

Following a career working in addiction treatment and eating disorder treatment, I retrained as an integrative counsellor/psychotherapist. I have since supported clients with a wide range of challenges including anxiety, bereavement, low self-esteem, trauma, and relationship issues.
