My approach

Everyone’s experience is different, and therapy is not a one-size-fits-all.  My role is to offer a therapeutic relationship where you feel safe enough to explore what matters most to you, in a way that feels respectful, and at a pace that feels right.

I work with adults, some come to therapy with a clear focus whilst others arrive with a quieter sense of disconnection or dissatisfaction, even when life appears outwardly settled.  All of this is welcome.

Person-centred therapy
At the heart of my work is a person-centred approach.  This means I offer a warm, supportive space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings openly, without judgement or pressure to reach solutions.  Rather than giving advice, I support you to reconnect with your own internal resources and understanding.  You set the pace and we attend to what feels most important for you. Being deeply heard and met with compassion can bring clarity, self-awareness, and a stronger sense of self-trust.

Experiential therapy
Experiential therapy invites us to go beyond words alone.  Alongside talking, we may gently explore how emotions show up in your body, use awareness, imagery, or other creative approaches to deepen understanding.  This can help access feelings that are harder to reach through conversation alone, allowing insight and change to emerge through lived experience.

Trauma-informed work
When working with trauma, we move carefully and collaboratively.  I pay close attention to safety, pacing, and how past experiences may continue to shape emotions, patterns, or relationships in the present.  Together we can gently make sense of these experiences and support meaningful change without rushing or re-traumatising.

Integrating approaches
While person-centred and experiential psychotherapy form the foundation of my work, I also draw on other therapeutic perspectives where helpful.  This might include parts-informed therapy, solution-focused approaches or attachment-informed thinking.  Any integration is guided by what feels relevant and supportive for you.

Regardless of what finds you seeking therapy, over time, this may support you to:

  • become more aware of your emotional experience

  • respond to anxiety or stress with greater regulation

  • express yourself more clearly and confidently

  • notice shifts in how you relate to others

  • move through change with increased self-trust
