Welcome to Raise Therapy!
Therapy for adults and young people
People come to therapy for many different reasons. You may be navigating anxiety, grief, relationships or a period of change. You may be feeling stuck or overwhelmed, or simply wanting to understand yourself and your experiences differently. You do not need to have clear answers or know where to begin.
I work in an integrative and collaborative way, which means therapy is shaped around you rather than following a prescribed approach. Together, we can make space for what feels important, explore what may be happening beneath the surface, and find ways of relating to yourself and your experiences with greater understanding and choice.
Alongside my work with adults and young people, I continue to work therapeutically with children, parents and carers.
“There are years that ask questions and years that answer.”

About Raise Therapy
Raise Therapy is my integrative psychotherapy practice for adults, young people, children and parents. At its heart is a belief that therapy is not about following a prescribed approach, but about understanding each person and shaping the work around what they bring.
I work collaboratively, with curiosity, empathy and respect for each person’s experiences. Rather than defining someone by a label or difficulty, I seek to understand the individual and what matters to them.
The Raise Approach
At Raise Therapy, the word RAISE reflects the values I bring to my work. These five principles shape how I approach my work and the therapeutic relationship I seek to create with you.
Responsive: Meeting you where you are, with care and flexibility.
Attuned: Listening carefully and paying attention to both what is said and what may be harder to put into words.
Intentional: Working thoughtfully and with purpose, while allowing the work to unfold at a pace that feels right for you.
Safety: Building trust and consistency together, so you can feel safe enough to explore what matters to you.
Empathic: Meeting your experiences with understanding and curiosity, without judgement.
Therapy and Support

Therapy for Adults
Adult therapy can begin with something you want to understand, a change you are trying to navigate, or a feeling you cannot quite make sense of. We can be curious about what is happening, what has shaped your experience, and what feels important to you now.
-
Therapy for Young People
Therapy for young people aged 13 to 18, with time to talk about what is happening in their lives and what feels significant to their experience. I have a particular interest in supporting young people living abroad as they navigate change, relationships, identity and belonging across cultures.

Play Therapy for Children
For children aged 3 to 12, play therapy offers a way to communicate through their natural language of play. It gives children space to express feelings that may be difficult to put into words and make sense of experiences in their own way and at their own pace, with gentle support.

Support for Parents and Carers
Reflective and collaborative sessions that help parents and carers feel more confident, grounded, and supported in their role. Together, we explore challenges and discover practical strategies that strengthen connection and trust within the family.
If you are thinking about therapy and would like to know a little more, you are very welcome to get in touch. We can have a conversation about what has brought you here, what you are looking for, and take it from there.
