My work supports children, adolescents, and adults navigating anxiety, overwhelming emotions, behavioural changes, family transitions, and the lasting impact of trauma. I take my clients on an in-depth journey into themselves, grounded in the understanding that early experiences; relationships, attachment, conditioning , and unmet needs often shape how we feel, relate, and see ourselves. I invite a space to explore these patterns with curiosity, honesty, and room for meaningful change. My clients work toward deeper self-understanding and self-acceptance, building greater confidence across different areas of their lives.
My approach is trauma-informed and attachment-based. With children, I integrate play therapy and DBT-informed strategies to support emotional expression and regulation in developmentally appropriate ways. With adults, I use psychodynamic and attachment-focused approaches, offering direct, transparent support grounded in insight, warmth, and occasional humour
Finding the right therapist matters, and it’s okay to take your time with that. I encourage you to follow what feels grounding and genuine for you. If you’d like, I’m happy to offer a free, relaxed conversation; simply a space to connect, ask questions, and see whether this feels like the right place to begin. Website being updated.
