My Approach

I offer a quiet, respectful space to sit with whatever is here — thoughts, feelings, memories, sensations — and whatever is not yet known. I don’t come with answers or fixes. Instead, I trust that healing has its own pace and shape, and that something can shift when we give it time and attention together.

My work is grounded in the moving, sensing body, in creativity, in nature, and in the moments that can’t be planned in advance. Sometimes we talk. Sometimes we pause. Sometimes we might use imagery, art-making, movement or music — always at your invitation.

I offer face-to-face sessions from my private therapy room in a village between Malton and Scarborough, as well as online. Larger spaces in Malton and Pickering are also available for work that would benefit from more room for movement and creative exploration.

If this sounds like it might be for you, you’re welcome to get in touch. We can meet, see how it feels to be in the same room (or online) together, and find out if this is a good place to begin.
