If you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or questioning who you are and where your life is going, I can offer a supportive space to help you untangle messy thoughts and emotions. I'm a BACP-registered psychotherapeutic counsellor, and I prioritise working safely, at a pace that feels right for you. I invite you to bring whatever's on your mind, no matter how big or small, for gentle and honest exploration. In this way we can work together to allow you to reconnect with a deeper sense of yourself.
I have particular interests in neurodivergence, LGBT identities, anxiety, and the mind-body connection. I have a pluralistic approach, meaning that I work collaboratively with you, drawing on a variety of therapeutic methods to fit your unique needs. This flexible approach allows us to find ways of working that suit you best, to support your personal growth.
If you choose to start therapy with me, our sessions will last 50 minutes, and will usually be at the same time weekly. I offer both short-term and longer-term counselling, and we can discuss your preferences regarding this during our introductory meeting.
