My approach

I work in a supportive and flexible way, moving at a pace that feels right for you. My approach draws on person-centred, trauma-informed, attachment, and neuroscience perspectives, tailored to your unique needs.

With a background in Fine Art (MFA) and a Postgraduate Diploma in Integrative Psychotherapy and Counselling, I bring both creativity and strong therapeutic training to my work. I see healing as a process, often nonlinear and deeply personal, rooted in curiosity, compassion, and authentic connection.

I have a particular interest in how people navigate life transitions, such as menopause or living with chronic or hidden illness. These experiences can bring big emotions; grief, anger, or feeling stuck and highlight the importance of boundaries and self-care. Drawing on both professional training and lived experience, I support you in exploring your story, reconnect with your strengths, and finding ways of being and living that feel authentic and empowering.

  • I take a collaborative and supportive approach to therapy, meeting you where you are and moving at a pace that feels right for you. My work draws on an integrative framework, including Person-Centred Therapy, Gestalt, Existentialism, Attachment Theory, Trauma Theory, and insights from Neuroscience. Each perspective offers a lens to understand your experience, yet at the core of my work is a Person-Centred foundation that values your autonomy, respects your lived experience, and trusts in your capacity for growth and healing.

    Together, we’ll explore the patterns, challenges, and transitions shaping your life, past and present, while reconnecting with your strengths, resources, and sense of self. I see therapy as a shared process, where you remain at the centre of your journey, and we work side by side to support meaningful, lasting change.
