My ideal client is an adult or older adolescent who brings long‑running relationship patterns, the lingering impact of childhood trauma, or chronic low mood and wants deeper, lasting change; they’re tired of repeating the same outcomes and ready to understand the origins of their reactions rather than just manage symptoms. They need a safe, non‑judgemental space, a clear formulation that links past experiences to present problems, and practical skills they can use between sessions. Their goals are to reduce shame and reactivity, build secure, reciprocal relationships, stabilise mood and daily routines, and develop boundaries.
I'm experienced in trauma‑informed and schema‑focused therapy. I help adolescents and adults break unhelpful patterns, manage mood, and build healthier relationships. Using CBT, ACT and DBT‑informed strategies, I offer clear understanding, practical tools, and a safe, collaborative space.
I know it can feel discouraging to face the same struggles over and over, even when you’ve tried to make changes. Therapy offers a space to slow down, understand the patterns that keep showing up, and practice new ways of responding. If you’re ready to explore this with support, I’d be glad to work alongside you.
