Hello and welcome. I have been here myself so I understand how daunting it can feel to find the right therapist and take that first step towards healing. I am here to be alongside you as you start on this path. Building our relationship so that you feel safe to openly share whatever brings you to therapy. Working together we can explore whatever difficulty you are going through, a past trauma or experience does not have to be revisited to heal, we will explore your experiences in the here and now, look to understand how it has impacted you and in what ways, for example do you have low self worth or do you struggle in relationships.

People like you don’t need therapy; because to most people you look like you've already made it. You buy the good wine these day, you have a reasonably interesting job and a significant other who loves you enough to traipse round shrines in Kamakura and look interested. You have friends who indulge your brunch habits (and wait for you to take photos first). Your life is pretty good and anyone without access to your phone would be fooled. Because all that betrays you is your stupidly long screen time, the multiple therapists you follow on IG and the abandoned self help books ('Let them' really did not live up to the hype).

I find that most clients are struggling because they lack coping strategies to manage distress, but also often because they are out of touch with what is important to them, their values, their strengths, their preferred life directions, and there are barriers such as anxiety, fear and/or emotional discomfort which lead to avoidance and other unhelpful behaviours. In turn, these factors thwart their goals and increase distress. Clients want reduced distress and increased pleasure and engagement with a life in which they can feel confident and empowered.
