As an Integrative Transpersonal Psychotherapist working in a trauma-informed way, I tailor therapy to you rather than following one fixed approach. Every person brings a unique history, set of relationships and way of experiencing the world, so our work together is shaped around your individual needs rather than fitting you into a particular model.
Alongside exploring what is happening in your life now, we will gently look at the deeper emotional patterns that may have developed over time as ways of adapting, surviving or protecting yourself. My approach is collaborative, compassionate and unhurried, therapeutic change often develops through a relationship in which you feel genuinely seen, understood and safe enough to explore difficult experiences.
While conversation is often at the heart of therapy, there are times when words alone do not fully capture what we carry. When it feels helpful, I may also draw on creative and reflective approaches such as imagery, dreams, creative expression or gentle awareness of the body. You do not need to be artistic or have any previous experience with these approaches; they simply offer another way of exploring experiences that can be difficult to express in words alone.
Therapy with me is not about being judged or fixed. It is a collaborative process of understanding yourself more deeply, recognising your strengths alongside your struggles, and developing new ways of relating to yourself and others that feel more fulfilling and sustainable.
If you feel that my approach resonates with you, I invite you to get in touch for an initial conversation.
You may know your patterns well, yet still find yourself living them.
Perhaps you keep finding yourself in the same relationships, reacting in ways you don't fully understand, or feeling that you're never quite enough. You may have spent years trying to make sense of these experiences, yet they continue to shape how you relate to yourself and others. This can feel confusing, frustrating and, at times, deeply exhausting.
I work with adults who are exploring the impact of early relationships, difficult life experiences, trauma, anxiety, life transitions, identity and low self-worth. Many of the people I meet are thoughtful and self-aware. They often understand their difficulties intellectually but still feel caught in emotional patterns that seem difficult to change.
I believe therapy offers more than symptom relief. It provides a space to pause, understand the experiences that have shaped you, and begin relating to yourself with greater compassion and clarity. Together, we can explore what feels stuck, helping you move towards a way of living that feels more connected, authentic and grounded.
Like all UKCP registered psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors I can work with a wide range of issues, but here are some areas in which I have a special interest or additional experience.
