A relationship shaped around your experience.
Therapy isn’t a formula. What we explore, and how we explore it, is shaped by you - your history, your pace, and what feels most alive or most difficult to access.
Starting where you are
You don’t need to arrive with a clear agenda or the right words. Many of the people I work with come knowing only that something isn’t right - that there’s a gap between how things look on the outside and how they feel on the inside.
We begin there. Gradually, and at a pace that feels safe, we create the conditions for something deeper to become accessible - patterns you may have carried for a long time, the ways you’ve learned to adapt, what’s been harder to express or even to know.
My work is grounded in person-centred and experiential psychotherapy. This means the relationship between us is central - not a technique I apply to you, but a genuine, collaborative space in which something can shift.
How the work unfolds
01
“There is no expectation that you arrive with things figured out. We can begin wherever you are - and work gently from there. ”
Person-centred therapy
THE HEART OF THE WORK
At the centre of everything I do is a belief hat you are the expert on your own experience. My role is to offer a relationship where you feel genuinely seen, heard, and understood - not judged, not directed, not hurried.
This kind of relationship creates the safety for you to explore what’s happening beneath the surface of your day-to-day life. As we do, you can begin the understand yourself more deeply, reconnect with your own inner voice, and feel more at home in yourself - in your relationships and your life.
02
Experiential therapy
BEYOND WORDS ALONE
Sometimes language doesn’t quite reach what we’re carrying. Experiential therapy invites us to attend to how things show up in the body, through imagery, or through more creative ways of exploring experience. This isn’t about doing anything unusual or unfamiliar 0 it’s about noticing what’s present beneath the words, when that feels useful. Deeper insight and real change often emerge through this kind of lived, felt experience rather than intellectual understanding alone.
03
Trauma-informed practice
MOVING WITH CARE
When earlier experiences have left their mark - whether or not they feel like ‘trauma’ in the traditional sense - the work requires particular attention to safety, pacing, and trust.
I pay close attention to how past experiences may continue to shape emotions, patterns, and relationships in the present. We move at a pace that feels manageable, working collaboratively to make sense of what has shaped you - without needing to relive it.
04
An integrative lens
TAILORED TO YOU
While person-centred and experiential psychotherapy form the foundation of my work, I draw on other perspectives where they’re genuinely useful - including parts-based approaches and solution-focused thinking.
The aim is always a therapeutic relationship that fits your unique experience - not a method imoised upon it.
What therapy with me looks like
Therapy with me is a conversation - sometimes slow, sometimes surprising, always led by what matters to you.
Sessions last 50 minutes and are usually weekly, though fortnightly is possible.
AT YOUR PACE
There’s no agenda to get through. We work at whatever pace feels safe and right for you, reviewing as we go.
SHORT OR LONGER TERM
I work with people for as few as 4-6 sessions and as long as several years. We agree what feels right and revisit it.
IN PERSON OR ONLINE
Sessions are available in my calm, private practice just outside Nottingham city centre or online across the UK.
A GENUINE RELATIONSHIP
I work reflectively, with regular clinical supervision and ongoing training - and I bring my whole, attentive self to every session.
