I work with a variety of issues though the majority of clients who come to see me tend to be around relationships ( family, friends, partner or workplace), mental health related issues such as anxiety, stress and low mood or around general development/direction
Some of my clients feel stuck, overwhelmed by emotions, unresolved past experiences, or uncertainty about their direction. They may struggle with anxiety, stress, low mood, or relationship challenges, or be navigating identity, childhood trauma, or gender and sexuality issues.

Their goals include fostering self-awareness, building resilience, and creating lasting change to move forward with confidence and purpose, supported by a collaborative therapeutic relationship.

They feel bad about themselves and long to break free and stop walking on eggshells around their family.
You look like you’re living the dream. You buy Whispering Angel these days, have a job that sounds impressive at parties and a partner 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). But if we’re being honest, there’s something else going on beneath the enviable surface. Your screen time is stupidly long, you follow more therapists on Instagram than actual friends, and your self-help books are gathering dust (honestly 'Let Them' was a let down).

It's not about advice giving but creating space to talk, explore, and reach your own realisations. The goal is to feel more equipped to make choices and move forward with confidence and wellbeing. Hypnotherapy & mindfulness can be introduced as a type of complementary therapy—hypnosis promotes focus and openness to positive change, while mindfulness helps keep you grounded in the present.

I work with clients who may be struggling with depression, anxiety, loss, grief, life cycle changes and family and relationship difficulties.
My approach is to offer a safe non-judgmental space where you can release, stress, worries, insecurities, whilst feeling held and supported. If you are an artist, designer, or work in the creative industries my practice may truly align to your way of thinking. Alternatively, if you have never explored your creative side, art psychotherapy will provide you with the support you need, whilst going on a transformative creative therapeutic journey.

Family Therapy Counsellors
What do family therapists do?
A family therapist facilitates the process of understanding and improving how a family functions. The therapist will help family members develop empathy for one another. They’ll seek to understand existing patterns, misunderstandings, and conflicts that arise, in order to help the family arrive at a realistic, unified understanding and develop the coping skills they need to build stronger relationships.
How long does therapy for families take to work?
Therapy manifests differently in every family; a common time frame is 12 weekly sessions, but some families may see improvement after just a few weeks. Families should discuss their goals with the therapist at the beginning of the process and periodically revisit those goals to assess their progress together.
How can you encourage a family member to attend family therapy?
You can encourage family members to attend therapy by expressing with both love and concern the challenges you see and explaining how a therapist could help the family navigate those challenges together. An outside perspective can help everyone feel heard, get on the same page, and develop new skills. If family members are still hesitant, it may be helpful to emphasize that family therapy is short-term—it won’t last forever.
Is therapy for families effective?
Family therapy can significantly improve family dynamics and relationships. Research suggests that family therapy can help individuals understand their role in the family, communicate and solve problems together, reduce conflict and draw boundaries when necessary, and develop coping skills for stressors, major life changes, and mental or physical illnesses within the family.
