I believe therapy works best when it is shaped around the person sitting in front of me. No two people are the same, so no two experiences of therapy should be either.

Rather than following one fixed approach, I draw on a range of therapeutic models, always grounded in a person-centred philosophy. Together, we explore what feels most helpful for you, working at a pace that feels manageable. You don't need to arrive knowing exactly what to say, and there is no expectation to share anything before you feel ready

Some sessions might involve exploring patterns in your thoughts, feelings or behaviours, and considering different ways of responding to life's challenges. Other times, we might use mindfulness, relaxation, visualisation, journaling or practical strategies that you can use outside the therapy room.

When working with adolescents, I adapt my approach to their age, needs and preferences. Talking isn't always the easiest way for young people to express themselves, so sessions may also include creative activities, drawing, games, worksheets or other tools to help them explore their thoughts and feelings. Building trust is central to this work, alongside developing emotional awareness and practical ways of managing difficulties.

Above all, I see therapy as a collaborative process. I regularly check in about how you're finding our work together, what's helping and what we might need to approach differently. Your feedback matters, and we can adapt our work as your needs change.
