My Approach
My approach is integrative, trauma-informed, and rooted in the understanding that there is no single “right” way to heal. You are unique, and your therapy should reflect that. Rather than working from one fixed model, I draw from a range of therapeutic perspectives to shape our work around your needs, your experiences, and your pace.
At the heart of my practice is connection. Real change doesn’t come from techniques alone, it comes from feeling safe enough to be honest. From being met with warmth, presence, and genuine care. Healing happens in relationship, when your nervous system begins to trust that it doesn’t have to stay on guard.
I also work somatically, which means we pay attention not only to what you think and feel, but to what your body is communicating. The body holds our stories in tension, in numbness, in restlessness, in shutdown. By gently bringing awareness to these responses, we create space for regulation, grounding, and deeper understanding. Healing becomes something that happens through the whole of you, not just through words.
Present-Focused, Holistically Informed
Our work is often present-focused. We explore what you’re experiencing in the here and now: your emotions, your relationships, your inner world, and what feels alive or difficult today. At the same time, we stay curious about where these experiences may have their roots. Attachment wounds, inner child experiences, early relational patterns, and internalised beliefs often shape how we move through the world long after they were formed. There is space here to honour that history without being defined by it.
Our sessions might involve:
-
Gently exploring emotions such as anxiety, shame, grief, anger, or numbness
-
Reconnecting with parts of yourself that feel lost, hidden, or stuck
-
Making sense of identity shifts, life transitions, and relationship patterns
-
Noticing survival strategies that once helped but no longer serve you
-
Learning safer, kinder ways of relating to yourself and others.
A Collaborative Process
Therapy, for me, is always a collaboration. I don’t see myself as an expert over you, but as someone walking alongside you. You bring your experience, your wisdom, your truth. I bring presence, curiosity, and support. Together, we create something that feels grounded, honest, and meaningful.
I work in a way that is warm, relational, and deeply respectful. There is no pressure to perform, explain yourself perfectly, or move faster than feels safe. You are encouraged to show up exactly as you are.
Whether you arrive with a clear reason for coming, or just a quiet sense that something isn’t quite right, you don’t have to navigate it alone. I’m here to listen, to support, and to explore with you, at your pace, in your way.
My commitment
At the core of my work is a deep belief in the power of relationships to transform lives.
Therapy isn’t just about techniques it’s about connection.
Growth, understanding, and healing emerge through the relationship we build, which is why I focus on trust, safety, and mutual understanding.
I bring warmth, honesty, and authenticity to our sessions, engaging fully rather than observing from a distance. I listen deeply to what’s spoken and unspoken and remain curious about our dynamic.
Your thoughts, feelings, silences, and hesitations are all welcome here.
They all matter in this space.
I see therapy as a collaborative and genuine process, free from performance or pretence.
Here, you can ask questions, set boundaries, express discomfort, and bring your full self. Together, we’ll explore what supports you, what needs attention, and what fosters growth, a journey we’ll navigate as partners.
Therapy can sometimes feel vulnerable or challenging, but we’ll meet those moments with care and respect. Even tension or rupture, when approached thoughtfully, can hold the potential for deep healing.
Whether you’re seeking to feel truly seen, process pain, or grow into a more authentic version of yourself, I’ll meet you with openness, integrity, and deep respect for your unique journey.
