I work with people experiencing relationship difficulties, including romantic challenges, complex families, loneliness, and social anxiety. Those with histories of trauma and abuse, seeking to understand how difficult past experiences might be impacting them today. People processing loss, whether that be of loved ones, relationships, life stages, or parts of self. Those wanting to meet all parts of themselves; their hopes, creativity, ideas and agency, as well as their darkness, shame, fears and impulses. People exploring neurodiverse, bi-cultural, queer and trans identities and those exploring relationship models such as polyamory.
I offer a compassionate space to explore your thoughts, feelings and identity and to make life-affirming changes to support your mental health. We might focus on immediate life issues, improve awareness of ongoing patterns, and examine how your past impacts your present. Sessions will be supportive, collaborative, explorative and challenging where helpful.
Volunteering for the Samaritans uncovered both my passion and potential for supporting people in crisis. Years of psychotherapy training and my own personal therapy and self-examination help equip me to be alongside others in their self-exploration. Get in touch to arrange a free, no-obligation, 15-minute intro call to see how we might work together.
