Hello, and thank you for visiting. I am a qualified person-centred therapist, offering a warm, empathic, and non-judgmental space to safely explore whatever may be holding you back or contributing to discomfort or unhappiness. I am originally from the US, and I bring an integrative, personalised approach to tailor sessions to your unique needs. Alongside talk therapy, I am EMDRIA-certified in EMDR and have also trained extensively in IFS-informed EMDR. I value how these two models (EMDR and IFS) work together to support deep and lasting change. Some of my areas of focus include trauma, attachment, depression and anxiety.

I welcome clients that are neurodivergent, and with personality disorders.
Looking for a therapist can be a daunting experience, especially if things are tough for you right now, but you have taken the first step! I have experienced many times, both as a counsellor and personally in therapy, how people begin to feel less burdened and overwhelmed in their life when they feel really heard and accepted without judgement or criticism. I believe that the counselling relationship is a collaborative and dynamic process, and I am always receptive to feedback, as it can shape the dynamic between us. I feel that therapy can be proactive, and not just reactive. I have no expectations on what we speak about.

My speciality is using Transactional Analysis (TA), a form of social psychology that helps you understand your personality, how you interact with others and how past life events could be affecting your here-and-now experience.

By understanding our thoughts and behaviours we can feel empowered to make positive changes that can lead us to fuller and more enjoyable lives.

Maybe you are neurodivergent, highly sensitive, or shaped by earlier adversity.
I specialise in working with neurodivergence, emotional regulation, self-esteem, and relational patterns.

Then we can go through the motios together.
