Working with individuals and couples, my approach is open, direct and there will be moments of challenge in order to reach deeper self awareness and growth.
What do most of us desire beneath it all? To feel good, whole and comfortable within ourselves and in the relationships around us. That state of peaceful being resides within all of us but often past traumas and challenging life experiences have shaped who we have become, influencing the story of who we now think we are. These beliefs often disconnect us from our true, best selves. Trauma happens, and often feelings of shame result. Living our lives wishing bad events never happened leave us feeling powerless but incorporating our past experiences in a way that does not debilitate, permits us to live with them, not ruled by them.

I work with individuals and couples.
If you change nothing, nothing changes but it can be hard to know where to begin. I feel it starts with you being heard and valued. Having your story and your feelings witnessed and validated is extraordinarily powerful and provides the catalyst for change. You will gain a clarity and a sense of perspective as well as an understanding of why you behave in the way you do. Talking to me will feel different from talking to a friend or family member. I will offer you insights and reflections, not opinions or solutions. I am interested in you and your experiences and they matter to me, but as I'm not involved I can remain objective.

You're here because something needs to change. Maybe it's anxiety that won't quiet down, a relationship that feels increasingly distant, or a nagging sense that you're not living as your authentic self. Whatever brought you here, I'm glad you're taking this step.
I help people break free from patterns that keep them stuck. Using an integrative approach tailored to your needs, we'll work together to understand the unconscious defenses and coping strategies—often rooted in past or family experiences—that may have once protected you but now hold you back.
In our work together, you can expect:
A warm, non-judgmental space where you feel

Starting therapy can feel like a big step. I offer a calm, confidential space where you can talk openly about what’s happening in your life, at a pace that feels right for you. Our 50-minute sessions are your time — a dedicated space where whatever feels important to you will be met with care, curiosity, and respect.
People often seek therapy when life feels overwhelming, confusing, or stuck. You might be experiencing anxiety, low mood, relationship difficulties, grief, or simply a sense that things aren’t how you want them to be. As an integrative psychotherapist in training I adapt my methods depending on what feels most helpful.

Hi, My name is Mandy and I have been told I am a down to earth warm hearted person. I mainly use the person-centred approach where the client is seen as the expert on themselves.

You don’t need to have it all worked out, or even know what’s going on. If life feels like it should be different but you’re not sure how, this is a great starting point.
You might feel alone carrying whatever it is - untangible, anxious, ashamed, or stuck in repeating patterns that leave you frustrated or disconnected. Some carry the impact of early life trauma or have learned to hide parts of themselves just to get by.
You might be questioning your identity, struggling with intimacy, feeling disconnected from your body, or wanting to explore your relationship style, including non-traditional setups.

People often reach out to therapy when they are ready for change. Some people do not even know what those changes might be yet. Your journey with therapy is very personal and you might be interested in understanding yourself better, or simply want a safe and confidential space to talk, get things off your mind. Whatever your thoughts are right now, I imagine you are hoping for something to be different in your life. I work extensively with Attachment, Trauma, Grief, Anxiety, Depression, Chronic Illness and Chronic Pain. How different could your life feel if you could develop the understanding needed to reconnect with yourself?

I have additional training in supporting neurodivergent clients and am currently training as a couple and relationship therapist.
Hi, I’m Holly — a warm welcome. I work with people who spend much of their lives supporting others and are now feeling anxious, overwhelmed or emotionally stretched. This may include parents, carers, professionals in helping roles, or those navigating relationship difficulties. You may feel depleted, responsible for everyone else, or disconnected from your own needs.
I offer a warm, down-to-earth and non-judgemental space where you can feel heard, make sense of what you are carrying, and reconnect with yourself. My approach is neurodiversity-affirming and inclusive. Therapy can offer space for you, too.

How does marriage counseling work?
Marriage counseling works by teaching couples concrete skills to communicate with one another and solve disagreements in healthy ways. A trained mental health professional works with both members of a couple to explore difficulties the couple may be having and helps them develop skills to address these matters. Couples who don’t have any difficulties but want to prepare for marriage may develop skills for the future.
How long does marriage counseling typically last?
Marriage counseling is a short-term form of therapy; the process may last between four and eight sessions. Other forms of relationship guidance from mental health professionals, such as couples therapy, are longer lasting, may focus on the past rather than just the present, and are tailored to the individual couple and their emotions, history, and patterns in the relationship. Couples therapy often lasts for 12 weeks or longer.
Is marriage counseling effective?
Marriage counseling helps many couples develop relationship skills that may not have been acquired or tested in a relationship; partners may be better able to communicate and address conflict following counseling. However, there are many different forms of marriage counseling, and this form of counseling does not have as strong an evidence base as other modalities such as couples therapy.
Is marriage counseling effective if only one partner wants to go?
Yes, marriage counseling can still be effective if one partner convinces the other to engage in the process. Of course, whether counseling is effective depends on the couple’s commitment to work on their relationship; however, the short-term, skills-based nature of marriage counseling makes it a relatively easy “ask” of a partner, and the hesitant individual may see its value once counseling begins.
