My Approach

The relationship we create together is at the heart of my approach. It offers a space where different parts of your experience can be present.
There is also something particular about exploring these things within a relationship rather than entirely on your own. What is experienced between us can sometimes bring another dimension to what we are trying to understand. Not really something to be interpreted from a distance, but as something we can become curious about together.
My approach is integrative and relational, informed by person-centred, psychodynamic, attachment. These perspectives provide different ways of thinking about experience, but they sit in the background.

About Me

Life can look entirely together from the outside and feel very different from within. We can become remarkably good at functioning, achieving and meeting the needs of others while losing sight of what is happening in ourselves. Sometimes it is only when there is space to look more closely that different questions begin to emerge. People come to therapy for many different reasons, including times when the reason itself can be difficult to find.

Special Interests

Like all UKCP registered psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors I can work with a wide range of issues, but here are some areas in which I have a special interest or additional experience.

ADHD can be experienced in very different ways and its meaning is particular to each person. Therapy can provide space to explore your own experience, including how you relate to yourself, other people. Emotional regulation, experience and relationships can have the potential to be particularly challenging within the neurodiverse context.
Autism may be part of how you have always understood yourself, something you are only beginning to make sense of, or perhaps something whose significance has changed over time. It can bring questions about identity, relationships and how you experience the world, but these will be different for everyone.
Relationships can affect how we feel about ourselves as well as how we feel about other people. Sometimes we can feel close and connected, and at other times distant, unsure or frustrated. You may want to understand a particular relationship, something that keeps happening in different relationships, or simply how you feel when you are with other people. Therapy gives us time to look at this together and understand what it means for you.
Stress does not always have an obvious beginning or a simple explanation. At times it can be connected to something happening now, while at others it may be harder to understand why things feel as they do. Having the opportunity to slow things down can create room to notice what has become difficult, what matters, and what might have been overlooked along the way.
Work can affect much more than our working day. Pressure, responsibility, difficult relationships, change or uncertainty can influence how we feel about ourselves. I offer space to explore your experience of work, including questions around confidence, identity, boundaries, relationships and what you may want to be different.
