My Approach

In person and online, I offer a non-judgemental and confidential space in which we can build a sense of safety together, somewhere you can feel heard and supported.

An integrative approach means I have been trained in several psychotherapeutic modalities and have brought these together into a coherent framework.

My framework is relational as I believe relationship is central to human experience. Just as many of our difficulties have foundations in our earliest childhood relationships and attachments, it is possible for healing and growth to take place within a therapeutic relationship attuned to our needs and vulnerabilities.

I believe that past experience influences how we cope with the present, which then affects the future. Together, we can look at or listen to patterns of experience or ways of relating which may be causing difficulties in the present.

I also have an interest in neurobiology and how our nervous systems are shaped by experience, including traumatic experience. Where helpful, I like to be able to share breathing, mindfulness and visualisation techniques that can support physiological and emotional regulation.

If you would like to explore working together, please do get in touch. I offer a free initial video call of up to 30 minutes giving us time to talk, ask questions and see whether the fit feels right. If we agree to continue, we would arrange to meet weekly for 50 minutes.
