I see therapy as a space where people can arrive exactly as they are—messy, uncertain, overwhelmed, hopeful, grieving or growing—and feel genuinely met within that experience. I work from the belief that we cannot understand people by looking only at symptoms or problems in isolation. We are shaped through our relationships, our histories, our bodies, our identities, our communities, and the wider social and cultural worlds we live within. Together, we slow things down with curiosity and compassion, making space to understand the whole person, discovering new ways of relating to yourself, others and the challenges you are facing.
I have a particular focus on Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) for couples. Together, we slow down the patterns that leave you feeling hurt, disconnected or alone, making sense of the emotions and longings beneath them. As these become safer to share, new moments of connection can emerge, helping you reach for and respond to one another in new ways.
Finding the right therapist is an important part of the process. If you're looking for a thoughtful, collaborative and compassionate space to explore whatever has brought you here—whether as an individual or a couple—I'd be honoured to meet with you and see whether we can begin making sense of it together.

Through Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFCT), conflict is understood differently. Rather than seeing one another as the problem, we begin to recognise the cycle you've become caught within. Conflict is reframed as protest against disconnection and an attempt to protect what matters most. As blame softens, new possibilities for repair and connection can emerge.
