You may have tried alot of things but are still feeling emotionally exhausted, anxious, disconnected, or unsure of yourself through stress, anxiety, after a difficult relationship, burnout, or long periods of coping alone. I offer a calm, grounded therapeutic space where you can slow down, feel safe enough to explore what’s happening, and begin to trust your own experience again. I work collaboratively and at your pace, using talking therapy alongside creative approaches when helpful, to support deeper understanding, emotional regulation, and lasting change.

I work in a person-centred, integrative way, using talking therapy alongside creative and expressive approaches where helpful. This can include expressive arts, sand tray and somatic and emotion-focused work to support understanding, emotional processing and regulation. These approaches help access insight and healing when words alone feel limited, always at your pace and choice.
