Do you sometimes feel like you’re living on the outside, different from the people around you? Have you spent a lot of time trying to fit in, working hard to get things ‘right’ or to do what you think you 'should' do, yet feel you're losing yourself and it's still not quite enough? You might notice familiar patterns in relationships, such as overthinking, overgiving, or doubting yourself and it's exhausting. Many people I work with long for spaces and relationships where they don’t have to work so hard. Where they can feel accepted for who they are, even if that is different. If this sounds like you, you're very welcome here.
I draw from a range of therapeutic approaches, shaping our work around what feels most helpful for you. My practice is relational, trauma-informed, and compassion-focused. Together, we explore your current difficulties in context, reflecting on past experiences and supporting you to build greater self-trust, clarity, and a sense of empowerment in your life.
From my own experience of therapy, I know how hard it is to reach out, and I want to commend you for getting this far. I am here to welcome you in a supportive way and help you to get to the bottom of whatever is troubling you. I offer an initial chat so you can ask questions and get a sense me and how I work. I look forward to connecting with you.
