About Me

My own experience of therapy has played an important part in shaping the therapist I am today. One of the biggest things I've had to learn, and in many ways, unlearn, is that my worth doesn't have to come from what I do for other people or how useful I am. Learning that I exist outside of external validation has been a big part of my journey, and has given me a real appreciation for how difficult it can be to untangle the beliefs we carry about ourselves.

That experience is part of why I care so much about creating a relationship where you don't have to perform, get things right, or arrive knowing exactly what you want to talk about. Therapy with me is collaborative and led by what you need.

Together, we can explore what's going on for you, make sense of the things that might be keeping you stuck, and work out what you need - at your own pace.

Outside of the therapy room, I volunteer at a luncheon club for older people. I'm also usually reading something, making or crafting something, or out walking my dog. I believe there's a lot of value in the ordinary bits of life too - connection, creativity, humour, and having somewhere you're allowed to simply be.

I’m a humanistic and integrative therapist, which means I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach to therapy. My work is rooted in humanistic and relational therapy, while also drawing on psychodynamic ideas and Transactional Analysis. This allows us to explore both what is happening for you now and the experiences and patterns that may have shaped how you relate to yourself and others.

Sessions are led by you. We go at your pace, explore what matters to you, and work together to find what helps.

Whether you are coming to therapy for the first time or returning after a break, you are welcome here exactly as you are.
