I am a big believer that everyone is enough as they are. That being said, many of us will have things that we would like to work on and possibly change. Whether that is how we respond to certain situations or people, getting out of a familiar pattern that isn’t helpful to us or learning to build and hold boundaries. There’s no such thing as a ‘right way’ to do therapy. Openness and a safe therapeutic relationship are the key to exploring what’s going on. Sometimes it can feel easier to work in creative ways, particularly if we don’t have the words to describe what’s going on for us. We can walk that path together.
Working from HU8, HU19 & HU5 locations as well as online, I offer a calm, safe space for you to explore your situation without judgement. Although my client work has been varied and I am happy to work with most presentations, I have a particular interest in how our early childhood experience forms how we are in the world today: with others and ourselves.
I understand this may be a big step for you reaching out for support. It’s so important to get the right therapist for you- someone you can connect to and feel safe opening up with. Which is why I offer a free initial consultation- it’s helpful for me to know what you’d like help with and for you to get a feel for who I am too, to see if we’re a good match

I am reluctant to say that I have a speciality, although the points I have highlighted are what I have more experience of working with. Clients may come wanting help with one thing, but often there's an overlap of multiple factors. If I didn't feel that we were a realistic therapeutic match, I would be happy to make suggestions of a therapist who is more aligned with your needs.

I don't feel that therapy is a one size fits all situation, so I adapt my methods to the client sat in front of me. For some this may look like the traditional knee to knee exploration through discussion. For others, more creative methods such as sand tray work, art therapy or nesting dolls may be more appropriate. I am very much client led and believe therapy is a collaborative process.
