I work from an integrative perspective grounded in person centered therapy. I adapt the therapy to the needs of the individual while respecting their views and values. I believe that most individuals can heal, grow and find resources within in a supportive and non-judgemental environment. I will work with you in exploring issues from the past and how they are affecting you in the present. I will also help you with tools and resources to help you in the day to day.

My ideal clients are people who appear to be coping on the outside but feel anxious, overwhelmed, burnt out, disconnected or stuck internally. They may come to therapy because of stress, ADHD or neurodivergence, low confidence, grief, relationship strain, trauma, emotional regulation difficulties or repeating patterns they want to understand. I help by offering a calm, professional space to make sense of what is happening, identify what keeps them stuck, and build practical, realistic steps forward.

Are you stuck in patterns you don't understand, held back by anxiety, difficult relationships, or a persistent feeling that something is "off"? These struggles are not flaws, but messages. My role is to help you listen to them.

As a therapist, I am trained to listen to you in a particular way that is different to how you might be used to being listened to. When I sit or walk with you, I am paying attention to the different ways that you express yourself with words, tone, movement, and metaphor to see if we can get a sense together of what might be underlying what is troubling you or keeping you stuck. Our work together is a space in which you can be as you are, speak as you need to, play with ideas and dreams, and tune into your body as a rich source of information, but importantly, a place in which you can do this at your own pace.
