We all come to therapy for different reasons. Perhaps you've been going through something challenging and need some extra support. Maybe you've been struggling in relationships and want to understand why that might be. Possibly you just don't have many chances to take time for yourself and you require a space to focus on what's most important to you. Regardless of what has brought you here, my therapeutic practice is built around the belief that it is the relationship that heals. When we are met with compassion and acceptance, it becomes possible to feel truly seen and heard, helping us to access our potential for change.
I work using both person-centred and psychodynamic approaches to therapy. This means that I deeply value your ability to guide your therapeutic journey, while holding in mind that your early experiences continue to impact you in the present. I bring curiosity to our therapeutic relationship, helping you to identify the things that are and aren't serving you.
Whatever your reason for seeking therapy, I'm so glad you're here. It's my aim to meet you exactly where you are and to move at pace that feels right for you so that you can feel safe and supported. It's so important that you find a therapist that you 'click' with - so please do reach out for an initial meeting to see if you feel I'm a good fit for you.
