How I Work
I believe therapy works best when it is built around the person in front of me. While you may arrive with one particular concern, our experiences are rarely isolated. What we struggle with is often connected to our relationships, life experiences, beliefs about ourselves and the ways we have learned to navigate the world.
I work relationally, which means I place a lot of importance on the relationship we build together. I trained as an integrative counsellor, meaning I have experience across a range of therapeutic approaches that can be adapted to your individual needs rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach.
Our work may involve exploring childhood experiences, attachment, relationships, patterns of coping, or the ways past experiences continue to show up in the present. I often focus on the here-and-now, noticing what emerges in the therapy room and exploring how familiar patterns may be reflected in your current experiences.
I also work with the whole person, recognising that our bodies hold experiences too. Alongside talking and reflection, I incorporate awareness of emotions, sensations and the body to support a deeper understanding of yourself beyond thoughts and words alone.
I welcome conversations around identity, meaning, spirituality and existential questions, as well as the more difficult or hidden parts of being human. Therapy is not about fixing something that is broken - it is about creating space to understand yourself with curiosity, compassion and honesty.
My hope is that therapy becomes a space where you can develop a more authentic relationship with yourself, understand your patterns, and move towards a life that feels more connected and meaningful.
