Working With Adults

People come to therapy for all sorts of reasons. Sometimes something specific has happened. You may be experiencing grief or loss, struggling with anxiety, relationships or a period of change. At other times, it can be harder to explain. You may simply know that something does not feel quite right, or find yourself wondering why familiar patterns, feelings or ways of coping keep showing up.

You do not need to arrive with a clear idea of what you want to work on or where to begin. We can start with what feels most important to you.

I am an integrative psychotherapist, which means I draw from different therapeutic approaches rather than working from one prescribed model. Our work is collaborative and shaped around you, your experiences and what feels most useful and relevant to you.

My work is grounded in person centred and humanistic principles and is Polyvagal informed, bringing an understanding of the nervous system into how we make sense of feelings, responses and patterns of connection. I also draw on Internal Family Systems (IFS), which offers a compassionate way of becoming curious about the different parts of ourselves, particularly those that may have developed to protect us or help us cope.

These are not separate techniques or a formula for therapy. They offer different ways of understanding your experience that we can draw from as our work develops.

At the heart of my work is the therapeutic relationship. I offer a space where you can speak openly, be listened to carefully and explore your experiences without judgement. Therapy can be a place to understand yourself more fully, make room for difficult feelings and become more curious about what you may need.

You are welcome to get in touch if you would like to talk about what brings you to therapy and whether working together might feel right for you.
