“At a certain point in our lives, we lose control of what’s happening to us, and our lives become controlled by fate.” The refreshing twist is: “That’s the world’s greatest lie.” I share this belief with Paulo Coelho. Choosing therapy is a meaningful act of self‑care, and I’m here to support you throughout the process.
Qualified in the psychodynamic and person-centred traditions (Masters degree), I focus on creating and holding a compassionate, confidential, non-judgemental space where it feels safe to be your authentic self, heal emotional wounds, and make impactful changes to your life. I continually expand my understanding by learning from other therapeutic modalities.
In our work together, we can draw on a variety of methods to gently open up your inner experience, deepening the connection between your mind and body. We can look at how you relate to others, to the world around you, and to yourself. We might also explore the words that naturally arise for you and work with them in a curious, playful, and creative way.

In my work as a therapist, I've supported people through a wide variety of experiences and emotional landscapes. Often, multiple issues are interlinked. Throughout your process, they can shift and change as you grow a deeper understanding of your inner world. Whatever you bring to the space, I will meet you where you are and constantly adapt to your individual needs and process.
