Maybe a relationship keeps going wrong, or a decision you can’t settle, or you’re not quite sure who you are or who you’re becoming. You don’t need to arrive at therapy with a diagnosis or even a clear explanation of what’s wrong. I work with teenagers, young adults and adults around identity and self-worth, relationships and the patterns within them, and the choices and changes that shape where life goes next. Some of what we explore is recent: this week, this argument, this crossroads. Some of it runs deeper. I’ll listen, challenge and, once we’ve built trust, work together to find a way forward.
How we work depends on what you bring. Sometimes we’ll make sense of what’s happening in your life right now; other times we’ll explore the patterns, experiences or parts of you underneath it. I use approaches including IFS and Brainspotting when they’re useful, particularly when talking alone doesn’t seem to reach something. The work has direction.
Choosing a therapist when you’re struggling isn’t a small decision, and whether it’s the right fit matters. A good first step is a free 15-minute call: no pressure to commit, a chance to tell me what’s bringing you here, and a way for both of us to see whether we’re a good match. If this sounds like the kind of therapy you’ve been looking for, call or email.

I integrate Internal Family Systems and Brainspotting to help you understand the parts of yourself that adapted to survive difficult situations. When talking isn't enough, Brainspotting accesses what your body holds. This isn't about fixing you or following protocols; it's about finding your way back to yourself. You set the pace; I provide the framework and space to be real.
