About me

Deciding to talk to a therapist can be a big decision. You might be feeling lost, overwhelmed or just stuck going round and round the same loop in your head. Talking to someone can help you break out of those cycles and start to make sense of what needs to change and feel different.

My aim is to help you feel comfortable in a safe, confidential space free from judgement, being listened to with curiosity and openness. I am down to earth, friendly and warm and believe therapy needs to feel like a 'normal' relationship as much as possible. You will always be the focus of our sessions, but I will ask questions, offer insights, reflect and reframe so you feel heard and understood.

I use skills from several types of therapy including person-centered, psychodynamic, cognitive behavioural therapy and transaction analysis. I also integrate techniques from coaching and solution-focused theory to help with clarity and focus. I have an interest in positive psychology, mindfulness and meditation, somatic awareness, trauma, addiction, parts work, habit formation, behaviour change, spiritual growth, philosophy, Buddhism, developmental change and much more. I am curious about all of our experience of being human and how we see ourselves in the world and this is a quality I will bring to our work together.

My knowledge and skills cover a wide range of issues including depression, anxiety, bereavement, low self-esteem, relationship and family issues, work related issues including stress and work-life balance.

I am also currently studying to practice health coaching with women in mid-life transition from early perimenopause through to post-menopause.

If you would like to find out more about whether I might be the right person to help you, please get in touch for an initial conversation.
