My Approach

I integrate a range of psychological models according to your needs and presenting issues. Trained in Gestalt, Transactional Analysis, Person-Centred, Attachment theory, Psychodynamic approaches and the use of Expressive Arts in Therapy. I base my integrative work in a strong trauma focused approach in which we will consider the importance of pace and safety in the therapeutic work.

About Me

I wonder how life is for you right now, maybe something difficult has happened or perhaps you are struggling with feelings and reactions that make life a challenge? Whatever's going on for you, it can be hard to find the right words to explain how you're feeling. I will work with you to discover what may be stuck, troubling or holding you back and how to move forward. My personal style is to be gentle, patient, warm and creative. I believe change emerges when we are really seen, heard and valued; the therapy journey is created together in which we explore what works best for you in session. I use a trauma informed approach.
In addition to traditional talking psychotherapy I offer the option to use creative materials and expression (art, poetry, sound, drama). I help with issues such as anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, abandonment, low self esteem and more. Together we consider the impact of early life experiences and how well-meaning internal defences maybe showing up now.
I have a special interest in working with young adults, plus experience of working across all life stages. I offer a free consultation with your enquiry so that we can discuss what you might be looking for in therapy. Our initial chat is a great way to explore if our working alliance might be a good fit. Whatever you choose I wish you the very best.
