You might have a sense that something isn’t quite right — perhaps you notice repeating the same patterns in relationships, feeling drawn to similar kinds of people, or responding in ways you don’t fully understand. We can get stuck in ways of relating that happen outside of our awareness, shaped by what we’ve learned about ourselves and others over time. Therapy offers a space to explore these patterns, understand what you bring into your relationships, how you respond to others, and why certain dynamics feel harder to shift. Over time, this can open up more choice in how you respond and relate, in ways that feel more like you.
I believe therapy is about creating a safe, trusting relationship where you can feel understood, supported, and able to explore yourself more deeply. Together, we can begin to understand the patterns that shape how you think, feel, cope, and relate to others, including those that may have developed over time without you fully realising.
Therapy is not always easy; it involves taking a compassionate but honest look at yourself, including experiences, emotions, and relationships that may be difficult to explore. Through our relationship, we can develop greater self-understanding, practise new ways of responding, and create meaningful change through curiosity, reflection, and deeper connection

Over the years, I've worked with young people and adults facing a wide range of difficulties. I have extensive experience of working with people with disordered eating, trauma, low self-esteem, and interpersonal and emotional difficulties; however, I am interested in developing a shared understanding of your difficulties and help you manage these, rather than specific diagnoses.
