For 10+ years, I have worked across mental health and wellbeing services, supporting people through a wide range of challenges and life experiences. I offer both short-term (6–12 sessions) and longer-term counselling and psychotherapy. As an Integrative Psychotherapist, I tailor therapy to you, drawing on different therapeutic approaches to meet your individual needs. My style is warm, collaborative, relational, and creative, offering a safe space to explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences at your own pace.
I believe the relationship we build together is at the heart of effective therapy. I aim to provide a safe, supportive, and comfortable space where you can feel able to explore whatever brings you to therapy. Whatever your reason for seeking support, taking this first step is an important one.
Please feel free to get in touch with any questions you may have. I am happy to offer a brief introductory phone call before arranging your first session, giving us an opportunity to discuss what you're looking for and whether we feel like a good fit. I look forward to hearing from you.
