I work with clients aged 16 and above, on a wide range of issues including anxiety, low mood/depression, self-esteem and stress. My approach is integrative, which allows me to tailor my approach to the individual client, taking into account their identity, values, beliefs, and situation in life. Some people are simply looking for a safe, non-judgmental space to work through their feelings and experiences, while others are hoping to makes changes in their lives. I am skilled and experienced with both approaches, and work collaboratively with clients to help them achieve their stated goals.
My work with clients proceeds from a person-centred basis of empathy, authenticity and positive regard. Beyond this, we can be as exploratory or solution-focused as is appropriate to the client in question. I have extensive experience in treating trauma/PTSD, using EMDR and grounding techniques to help people move beyond their past traumatic experiences.
I offer a warm and compassionate presence in sessions, and try to present as authentically as possible; I am not a believer in the 'blank screen' approach, as I believe this can be alienating for clients, especially those new to therapy.I offer a free initial consultation to all new clients, which allows us the opportunity to see if we would be a good fit.

At the start of therapy I work with the client to establish their goals for our work together, and will regularly check in with them thereafter to make sure that our work remains relevant to what they hope to achieve. Depending on the specific needs and desires of the client, therapy may be short-term, or can take place over a longer period; we will formulate our plan in the first consultation.

My background and approach to therapy is integrative, meaning that we can incorporate elements of core therapeutic approaches including the person-centred, cognitive-behavioural, and psychodynamic traditions. Other approaches might also be indicated, for example EMDR for those hoping to process past traumas, or acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) for those adapting to a major life change.
