My Approach

In our sessions, we'll pay attention to what you're experiencing in the moment: your thoughts, feelings, bodily sensations and how you experience being with another person. We might become curious about patterns in your relationships, ways you've learned to protect yourself, or feelings that are difficult to put into words.

Sometimes we'll use creative or grounding practices to explore experiences that words alone can't quite capture. We'll work collaboratively, finding an approach and pace that feels right for you.

I am committed to anti-oppressive, anti-racist, multicultural, sex-positive, neurodiversity-affirming and queer-affirmative practice. I recognise that our experiences are shaped by our relationships, histories, identities and wider social circumstances. I aim to work with sensitivity to these contexts, respecting the ways people have learned to cope, adapt and survive.

Areas I can support you with include stress and burnout, overwhelm, anxiety, people pleasing and appeasing others, relationship difficulties, struggling to feel safe around people, shame, low self esteem, intense self criticism, feeling like you're too much / not enough, loneliness, masking your true self, or feeling disconnected from yourself and others.
