I work with sensitive, empathetic adults who are high-functioning, perfectionistic, and self-critical, often shaped by harsh or unpredictable parenting. If you appear composed but carry shame, self-criticism, or unprocessed emotions, therapy can be a space to gently explore old patterns at a pace that feels manageable and never forced. Using trauma-informed talk, somatic techniques, meditation, and interoception-building skills, we process triggers and stuck emotions. This work cultivates long-term self-compassion and embodied awareness, helping you build a grounded, lasting sense of self-worth.

Often children don’t have words to describe their experiences and feelings and instead reveal them through behaviours which can be misunderstood. They may get into trouble, be labelled, or disconnect. I work with children and families just like this. As a carer, reaching out for support can be the hardest step. I work closely with you and your child through Play Therapy which is relationship based therapy for children aged 3-12 years. Play is a child’s natural way of communicating and Play Therapy creates the environment where the therapist enters into a child’s world and understands the experience from their perspective.

Although we may be trying our hardest, sometimes we can feel overwhelmed and unable to cope, or that our lives have taken a wrong turn. We can be plagued by depression, anxiety, grief or difficult life transitions. Or we may have mental illness or trauma that continues to get in our way and stops us flourishing. If these difficulties ring true, I believe I can help you get your life and your self back. Together, we will explore where you are now, the person you want to be and the way you want to live.

I trained as a therapist because I know the grief, health-related anxiety and depression of chronic illness can be overwhelming. What was going on pre-diagnosis can also need attention. I am available to validate difficult feelings, explore the sense of burden and work towards acceptance and restoring self-worth and confidence. My lived experience is of managing T1 Diabetes from the age of 17. My research interest is the role of chronic stress in auto-immune conditions and my purpose is to be available to those who seek more grounded and settled nervous systems as part of their approach to managing their health.

Life is messy and imperfect. Sexuality and identity is a lifelong journey. So many of us are limited in our exploration due to shame, stigma, or lack of sexuality education. I believe in a sex-positive approach which acknowledges and celebrates the diversity of human sexuality, identity and expression. When we are informed, empowered and validated, we live happier and more authentic lives.

Hi, I'm Jerico. I work with adults (predominately women and LGBTQIA+ community members) and young people above 8-years-old who value a warm, relational, embodied, and creative approach to therapy. As an arts-based therapist, my practice integrates art materials and somatic inquiry, alongside conversation, to support clients through complex emotional experiences, identity exploration, and meaning-making. My therapeutic approach emphasises presence, deep listening, and engaging with creative materials as pathways to personal insight and meaning.
