My Approach
I believe therapy works best when it’s shaped around my client. For that reason, I don’t follow just one method; I draw on different approaches, always from a person-centred place, and we explore together what feels most helpful at any given moment.
Some days, we might notice patterns in your thoughts, feelings, or behaviours and explore ways to shift them. Other days, we might try journaling, relaxation, visualisation, or small reflections to carry with you between sessions. Everything we do is guided by what you need and what feels right for you.
In my practice, I work with clients facing all kinds of challenges: grief, anxiety, depression, panic, low self-worth, and self-harm, as well as relationship difficulties, family tensions, trauma, and the pressures of work and life. Many of my clients come to therapy during times of change: adjusting to illness, navigating menopause, exploring personal growth, or finding their way through workplace or life transitions.
Before training as a psychotherapist, I spent 20 years in corporate communications. Listening closely, untangling complex situations, and supporting people through change were central to that work. These skills now enrich my therapy work, helping me hold space for your story with empathy, insight, and clarity.
I believe therapy is about teamwork and collaboration. I check in regularly to see what’s helping, what isn’t, and what you need from our sessions. This ensures your therapy stays meaningful, supportive, and truly yours.
