I am an integrative psychotherapist with a person centred and humanistic foundation. I don’t believe in a fixed approach to therapy or expect one way of working to suit everyone. I draw from different therapeutic perspectives, alongside creative and experiential ways of working, adapting our sessions to you and what emerges through our work together.

These are not separate techniques or a formula for therapy, but different ways of understanding your experience. Sometimes we might pick up a thread, follow it with curiosity and begin to notice how experiences, relationships, feelings and patterns connect.

At the heart of my approach is curiosity rather than judgement. I’m less interested in asking “What is wrong?” than in understanding what makes sense in the context of your life, and what you might need now.

My practice 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 over time to protect us or help us cope. We might pay attention to what you notice in your body as well as what you are able to put into words.

Therapeutic Relationship

The therapeutic relationship is central to my work. I am interested not only in what has happened in your life, but in how you have experienced it and the meaning it holds for you. Therapy gives us room to stay curious about what we find, including the things that may be difficult to understand or put into words.

How We Can Meet

I offer therapy online, as well as in person for those living locally. For in-person work, I also offer Walk & Talk sessions, where our therapy takes place outdoors while walking together. Some people find that being outside and moving alongside one another can make conversation feel more natural and offer a different way of experiencing the therapeutic space.

We can talk about which way of meeting feels most comfortable and useful for you.

Therapy With Adults

Sometimes there is a clear reason for coming to therapy. Something has happened, something has changed, or a familiar way of coping no longer seems to be working. At other times, it is much harder to name. You may simply have a sense that something is not quite right, or find yourself curious about patterns, feelings or responses that 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.
