Do you find yourself caught in repeating patterns that leave you feeling stuck, anxious, overwhelmed, or dissatisfied despite your best efforts? Perhaps you struggle with self-criticism, procrastination, relationship difficulties, or a persistent sense of falling short. You may already understand your difficulties intellectually, yet still find yourself returning to the same painful reactions and outcomes. If so, therapy can help you uncover what internal and often hidden processes keep you stuck and reconnect you with a greater sense of direction, choice, and fulfilment.
My aim is to help you develop greater awareness of the beliefs, emotions, and habitual ways of relating that shape your experience. Through dialogue, creative exploration, and attention to the connection between mind and body, we will identify what learnt and adapted processes limit you and discover more effective ways of meeting life’s challenges.
I believe that a trusting and collaborative relationship is central to successful therapy. My role is to provide a space where you feel genuinely understood, thoughtfully challenged, and supported to explore yourself honestly. By combining compassion with insight, I help clients reduce self-judgment, develop greater self-trust, and create lasting change.

One area in particular I work in is helping individuals and couples navigate the complexities of relationships, fostering authentic connections that are both meaningful and enduring. In our work together, we explore the roots of relational challenges - whether they stem from childhood experiences, ingrained habits, or unspoken fears - learning to make the space for transformation and change.

I use a combination of cognitive and somatic based approaches drawing on Gestalt therapy and existential themes to help individuals raise their awareness of their authentic emotional, intellectual and spiritual experiences. For couples, I draw on a combination of EFT, Imago method and the relational techniques of Terry Real to foster better communication and understanding to resolve conflicts.
