My Approach

My approach is rooted in family and systemic psychotherapy. I’m interested in how our relationships, life experiences and the circumstances we find ourselves in shape how we feel, how we see ourselves and how we relate to others. Sometimes, understanding the bigger picture can help us make sense of difficulties that have felt confusing or hard to change.

In our work together, we might explore patterns that keep repeating, misunderstandings that leave people feeling hurt or disconnected, or experiences that have shaped how you respond to others. If you’re coming as a parent, we might think together about what your child could be experiencing and how best to support them. I’m interested in hearing different perspectives and helping you make sense of what might be happening beneath the surface, without looking for someone to blame.

I recognise that every person, couple and family is different, so there is no single way of working that suits everyone. I’ll bring curiosity and openness to our conversations, while making space for your experiences, values, culture and what matters most to you. My hope is that, together, we can develop a deeper understanding of what’s happening and find new ways forward that feel meaningful to you.

About Me

Hi, I’m Sholly.

Deciding to come to therapy can feel like a big step. Perhaps you’ve spent a long time trying to work things out on your own, find yourself caught in patterns that are difficult to change, or feel that something isn’t quite right but aren’t sure why. You might be struggling with someone you care about or feeling worried about your child. Whatever brings you here, you don’t need to have all the answers before coming to therapy.

I aim to offer a space where you can feel comfortable being yourself and talking openly about what’s happening in your life, including the things that might be difficult to put into words. I’ll listen carefully, be curious about your experiences and take time to understand things from your perspective. I also believe that sometimes a different question or a gentle challenge can help us see things in a new light.

I see therapy as something we work on together. I won’t arrive with all the answers or assume I know what is best for you. Instead, I want to understand what matters to you, what you’re finding difficult and what you hope might change. We can take things at your pace and work out together where to begin.

Outside of my clinical work, I enjoy running, good coffee, singing my heart out, long walks in nature and spending time with my family.
