Are you ready to feel understood — not just heard? Therapy works best when it fits you — not a template. Whether you're managing anxiety, processing difficult experiences, navigating life feeling stuck, or simply wanting to understand yourself better, I'll work with you to find an approach that actually helps. My style is warm, collaborative, and genuinely flexible. I work primarily from a person-centred foundation — meaning you lead, at your pace — drawing in solution-focused therapy, CBT, and psychodynamic thinking when they're useful. We find what works for you, together.
I work with Adults, young people, and neurodivergent individuals (autism, ADHD). People affected by addiction, anyone approaching therapy for the first time. I hold a BSc in Psychology, an MSc in Forensic Psychology, and a Level 5 Diploma in Pluralistic Counselling
Reaching out is often the hardest part. I offer an initial consultation so you can get a feel for how I work — no pressure, no commitment. You don't need to have it all figured out before you get in touch.
