My approach
One size does not fit all when it comes to therapy, and we will discover together how we will work in line with you in your uniqueness.
My approach is integrative, transpersonal and relational. I am deeply curious to discover who you truly are. I provide a compassionate, empathetic, caring and collaborative space, free from bias and judgement.
Curiosity is at the heart of my work.
I believe that when therapists become too closely identified with a particular theoretical position, they risk seeing only what confirms it and overlooking what challenges it. While theory forms an important foundation of training and practice, my priority is to understand you through your own experience, rather than viewing you primarily through a theoretical lens.
I offer a trauma-informed, inclusive practice that affirms LGBTQI+ identities and values multicultural difference, working respectfully and thoughtfully with people of colour and clients from diverse cultural backgrounds.
My expertise & interest
I have supported clients with a wide and varied range of issues, including:
depression & anxiety
dreams and nightmares
grief and loss
mental health issues; yours and/or a loved one’s
perinatal period & postnatal depression
poor boundaries & low self-esteem
relationship issues
sex and sexuality
sibling and twin loss
surviving the suicide of a loved one
trauma: physical, sexual, psychological, abuse
I have particular interest in grief, loss and bereavement, the perinatal period and navigating the creative industries.
What is the difference between psychotherapy and counselling?
I am trained as both a psychotherapist and counsellor. People often use these terms to mean the same thing, and they are very closely related, but there are some differences in how they work.
Counselling is usually short-term and focused on practical solutions
Psychotherapy typically takes a deeper approach, examining underlying patterns, unconscious processes, and long-standing emotional difficulties. It focuses on the root causes of problems, including past experiences such as childhood trauma, as well as existential concerns like a loss of meaning.
Together, we would talk about what feels most helpful for you and work at a pace that feels comfortable.
