Therapy with Me

As a qualified psychotherapist, my approach is rooted in understanding the underlying causes of your emotional distress. I believe in building a trusting, collaborative relationship where you feel comfortable being yourself and sharing openly. Rather than offering quick fixes, I aim to work with you over time to address the core issues driving your pain, whether that’s trauma, shame, or unresolved emotional conflict.

​​

I really enjoy getting to know clients on a deeper level, discovering their deepest fears and anxieties, as well as what gives them hope and meaning. I see myself as a guide rather than an expert, committed to walking alongside you as you navigate life's challenges. I often liken our journey to standing at the foot of a mountain together—excited but apprehensive about the path ahead, not knowing where it will lead, but ready to face it together.

​

​​​​​Psychotherapeutic work primarily involves exploring the unconscious—what lies outside our conscious awareness. This can sometimes feel unsettling, especially if you prefer certainty and clarity. Trusting the process and embracing the unknown can be one of the most challenging aspects of psychotherapy, but it is also where its beauty and magic lie. As you begin to feel hopeful again, notice positive changes in your relationships, and experience a shift in how you feel about yourself, you’ll see the transformative power of this journey.

​

I love working creatively to help you express things that can be difficult to articulate or to bring awareness to the sources of your distress. We may use drawing, imagery, guided visualisations, dreamwork, or simply talk.

 

I am also going to soon be training in EMDR (eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing), an extensively researched method proven to help people recover from traumatic memories and other distressing experiences.​​ For more information, go to EMDR.

I will work with you at your pace, ensuring that our sessions are tailored to your needs and comfort.
