My story

“I believe each person has an innate capacity for growth and healing when supported within a safe, authentic and trusting therapeutic relationship.”

I have experience supporting women, young people, families and adults experiencing emotional distress, grief and loss, anxiety, depression, addiction-related experiences, life transitions, trauma and complex life challenges.

My work across mental health, bereavement, family support and community settings has given me experience supporting people with a wide range of emotional and practical difficulties, including caring responsibilities, stress, burnout and the impact of difficult life experiences.

Alongside my core person-centred training, I have additional training and interests in creative approaches, ecotherapy, somatic awareness and wellbeing practices. Where appropriate, I may draw on these to support a more embodied and whole-person experience of therapy.

I welcome clients from diverse backgrounds and life experiences, including those experiencing challenges related to neurodiversity, chronic stress and caring roles.

My approach

My approach is relational and person-centred, with the therapeutic relationship at the heart of the work. I understand how past experiences can affect emotions, relationships, the body and everyday life, and I work in a way that recognises the lasting impact of trauma.

When you come to therapy, my aim is to offer a safe, compassionate and non-judgemental space where you can bring whatever feels important to you. I understand that starting therapy can sometimes feel unfamiliar or difficult, and I work at a pace that feels comfortable and manageable for you.

I do not believe there is a “one size fits all” approach. Each person’s experiences, needs and goals are unique, so our work together is shaped around you. Some clients come with a specific issue they would like support with, while others may want space to understand themselves more deeply or make sense of difficult emotions and experiences.

Where appropriate, I may also draw on creative approaches, somatic awareness and wellbeing practices to support emotional expression and self-awareness.

Therapy outdoors

Walk and talk

Not everyone feels comfortable sitting in a traditional therapy room. Many people find being in nature supportive and grounding, creating a different environment for reflection and therapeutic conversation.

Walk and Talk sessions take place in outdoor settings and may suit people who feel more comfortable moving, being in nature or engaging in therapy outside a traditional room setting.
