(Re)discover Your Worth
Many people come to therapy with me, believing they are unworthy or unlovable.
Creating a loving relationship with ourselves is at the heart of healing work and is a core touchstone of my approach.
Learn to trust yourself
Are you tired of people-pleasing and overextending yourself?
Therapy can help you create and maintain healthy boundaries, allowing you to prioritise activities that you enjoy and that nourish you. I’m not here to ‘fix’ you - you're not broken. I’m here to help you trust yourself and your instincts.
Together, we’ll explore your inner world and discover the tools you need to thrive.
Care for your Nervous System
Trauma is an embodied experience. As we work together, we will attend to your embodied experience and the needs of your nervous system. You'll learn grounding and self-regulation techniques to help you cope with stress and regulate your emotions. This will help you feel safer and more grounded.
Covid Conscious Therapy
I am a Covid Conscious therapist and run a Rensair hospital grade air purifier between every session. This purifies the air in less than 5 minutes. If you are in a clinically vulnerable group and are interested in seeing me in person, please contact me to discuss your access needs.

experience of being othered and marginalised

How I work
My integrative approach is exploratory, affirming and non-directive.
I believe you will experience the most sustainable and lasting growth and healing by working at your own pace. So, I meet you where you are. I do not set the agenda in sessions. I trust and respect your autonomy and personal power - we will look at what you feel is most important/present for you.
I will ask you what you would like to focus on at the beginning of each session, and I trust that within the safety of the therapeutic relationship, you can gain insights, find your own solutions, and experience healing.
You’re the one walking in your shoes, living your life - only you can truly know what’s right for you, or what the right next step is. While I have expertise in therapy and can therefore offer high-quality support, you are the expert in your lived experience and the relationship you have with yourself.
If you are looking for a therapist to solve problems for you or tell you what to do, I won’t be a good fit for you. My strength lies in being there with you and helping you listen more deeply to yourself, and seeing what is right for you.
