Many people turn to therapy because they are struggling with depression and anxiety, processing a loss, wanting to understand themselves better, longing to shift areas of stuckness, living with relational difficulties, or experiencing the aftermath of trauma.
I provide a non-judgemental, warm space where you can come as you are and be met with empathy, respect and authenticity. I practice a relational-developmental integrative psychotherapy - drawing upon principles of human development, neuroscience and relationships to understand your story, difficulties and needs.

You may be struggling with anxiety, low mood, trauma or relationship difficulties that feel hard to manage alone.
I offer psychotherapy for adults and couples, working in a person-centred and trauma-informed way. As an integrative therapist, I draw on different therapeutic approaches to tailor sessions to your individual needs and the full context of your experience, rather than focusing narrowly on symptoms or diagnoses.

Life happens, and the majority of the time we seem to find a way to "happen" with it. We find a way to navigate through the motions of "doing" and get to a place of "being". Being excited, being present, being happy - but sometimes along the way it can get confusing, blurry and we can feel a bit lost. As a certified counsellor, I work with you through the confusion, to get to a place of clarity. I explore the past and present with you using an integrated therapeutic approach - blending the different skills I've learnt in practice to assist you with where you are right now. Many therapists talk about the varying styles of therapy

You’re someone others depend on, the one who keeps things moving, holds things together, and rarely lets things drop. From the outside, you seem capable and in control. But internally, it can feel heavier than it looks. You might find yourself overthinking, stretched, or quietly carrying more than anyone realises.

I often work with overlapping issues of anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, grief, complex and conflicting emotions and thoughts, low self-esteem, a sense of feeling stuck or unfulfillment in life.
Everybody’s experiences and responses toward the unpredictability of life, differ greatly. Having a confidential space, that’s just yours, where you can focus on yourself, your life experiences, or your thoughts and feelings, can be incredibly transformative, provide a sense of relief, clarity, renewed optimism and hopefulness. I’m far from a ‘detached analytical cold figure’ in the room, but a person of warmth, an ‘old soul’ and ‘down to earth attitude’, whom respects individual uniqueness, circumstances and paths in life. I work with you to find the answers/solutions that you are looking for; not to analyse, or dictate to you.

You might be dealing with conflict at home, a relationship ending, anxiety, low mood, or just a constant sense that things don’t feel quite right.
I offer a calm, supportive space for online therapy where you can talk things through at your own pace. I usually work in ongoing 50-minute sessions, but I understand that isn’t right for everyone. Some people come short term to focus on something specific, others stay longer and go deeper. We can find what feels manageable and right for you.

Many of my clients find me because they have tried "everything" and nothing seems to work. With long histories of challenging experiences, negative thought patterns, and emotional overload, it can be hard to know where to start. I help clients get to the root of their issues, learn skills to cope with current distress, and, if needed, process through past traumas. Paying equal attention to mind and body, we work together to bring a sense of calm to both. If you are ready to move beyond traditional "talk therapy", discover the origin of your distress, and experience relief from emotional reactivity or numbness, let's connect.
