My approach

Everyone’s experience is different, and therapy is not a one-size-fits-all.  I offer a therapeutic relationship where you feel safe to explore what matters most to you. I often work with adults facing a range of experiences including anxiety, self-doubt, relationship challenges, work stress, life transitions, loss, or the impact of earlier experiences - whatever brings you here, therapy can offer support to:

  • increase awareness of your experiences

  • develop greater regulation around anxiety or stress

  • improve clarity and confidence when expressing yourself

  • enhance relationships with those around or most important to you

  • explore change with increased steadiness

Person-centred therapy

At the heart of my work is a person-centred approach.  I offer a warm, supportive space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings openly, without judgement. You set the pace, and we attend to what feels most important for you. Being deeply heard within the therapeutic relationship can support a stronger connection with your own internal voice and resources within, bringing greater clarity, self-awareness, and a deeper sense of connection with yourself.
While therapy centres on your experience, I am actively part of the process too. I will offer reflections, observations, or perspectives that help deepen or open up new ways of seeing things.

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.  These may include trauma-informed practice, solution-focused approaches, and insights from parts-based approaches to understand inner experience.
