My Approach

I work with couples, families, and individuals who may be struggling with low mood, feeling stuck in current situations or struggling with past events. I offer a safe, welcoming, and non-judgemental space where you can slow down, be curious, and explore what’s going on in your life and relationships. You may want to explore conflict dynamics within your couple relationships or with your children. Or you may wish to individually explore situations and events which may be holding you back in life so you can overcome obstacles and navigate life’s complexities.
I offer in a down to earth, collaborative space to understand what changes you want to make, I strive to create a safe, non-judgemental space. My work is rooted in anti-oppressive and anti-racist values. I hold space for the many different ways people make sense of themselves, their families, and their lives — including across culture, identity, and experience.

Alongside systemic approaches I draw on further training I have completed in a wide range of evidenced based approaches such as Internal Family Systems Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFCT), Emotionally Focused Family Therapy (EFFT), Attachment-Based Family Therapy (ABFT) Mindfulness ( MBSR/MBCT) and Non Violent Resistance.

Alongside systemic approaches, these models help guide working with interpersonal, relational, mental and emotional health challenges, however my work is always tailored to what feels right for the family or individual.
