Talking is an important part of therapy, but it isn't the whole picture. Depending on what you need, our work may include developing practical coping strategies, understanding patterns of behaviour, exploring emotions and relationships, working with your nervous system, or making sense of experiences from the past. Therapy isn't about simply talking at someone — it's about making sense of what is happening and creating meaningful change.

I won't tell you what you should do or make decisions for you. Instead, I'll help you explore your thoughts, feelings, values and options so that you can make decisions that feel right for you. Where appropriate, I'll offer therapeutic perspectives, psychoeducation and practical tools that may support you.

The therapeutic relationship matters. You should feel that you can be yourself, that you're listened to and that there is space for you to explore things without judgement. It's completely okay to speak to more than one therapist before deciding who feels right for you.

There isn't a fixed answer. Some people come for a relatively short period to work through a particular difficulty, while others benefit from longer-term therapy to explore deeper or more longstanding patterns. We can regularly review how therapy is feeling and whether it continues to meet your needs. I recommend a minimum of six sessions to begin with.

You don't need to have a diagnosis or be in crisis to come to therapy. You might be struggling with anxiety, feeling overwhelmed, experiencing burnout, navigating a difficult relationship, processing something from your past, or simply feeling that something isn't quite right. Sometimes you may not even know exactly what you need — and that's okay. We can work that out together.

I work integratively, drawing on a range of therapeutic approaches, including:

• Person-Centred Therapy

• Gestalt Therapy

• Attachment Theory

• Inner Child Work

• Trauma-Informed Therapy

• Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

• Polyvagal Theory

• Mindfulness and grounding techniques

I tailor these approaches to each individual, depending on your needs, goals and therapeutic journey.

Sessions are 60 minutes in duration and usually happen weekly, as having some consistency can help create momentum and a sense of continuity. However, we can discuss what feels appropriate for you and your circumstances.

Yes. Exploring attachment, early experiences, relationships, beliefs and emotional responses can help you understand where patterns may have developed and, importantly, give you greater choice in how you respond to them now.

A consultation call is an opportunity for us to have an initial conversation before you commit to therapy. We’ll briefly discuss what has brought you to therapy, what you’re looking for support with and what you’d like to achieve.

It’s also an opportunity for you to ask any questions you may have about my approach and how I work. Most importantly, it allows us to consider whether we feel like a good therapeutic fit.
