I am an accredited and experienced counsellor and a CBT therapist (working towards accreditation).

I work with young people aged 16+, adults and older adults, supporting people through a wide range of emotional difficulties and life changes.

I know that coming to therapy can feel like a big step. You may have been thinking about it for a long time, or something may have happened recently that has made you realise you need support.

Whatever has brought you here, I want you to feel that you have found a safe place to begin.

My approach

I strongly believe that every person is different and that therapy should reflect this.

My core training is in humanistic counselling, in which the therapeutic relationship is at the heart of the work.

I work in an integrative way, drawing on Person-Centred, Psychodynamic, Existential, Solution-Focused, and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), as well as Functional Analytic Psychotherapy (FAP), and use psychoeducation. I adapt my approach to your individual circumstances, what you are experiencing, and what you hope to achieve from therapy.

As far as I am concerned, therapy is not about fitting you into a particular model. Instead, it is about working together to understand what you are going through and to explore what might help you move forward.

Sometimes this may mean having the time and space to talk about experiences that have been difficult to process. At other times, you may prefer something more structured and practical, such as understanding patterns of thinking, managing anxiety, or changing behaviours that are no longer helping you.

We can work collaboratively and adapt the therapy as we go, so that the way we work together feels right for you.

What matters to me

I believe that being listened to without judgement can be powerful in itself.

I will take the time to understand your experience rather than making assumptions about what you should be feeling or how you should respond.

At the same time, therapy is not simply about talking about problems. Where appropriate, I will help you explore patterns, develop new ways of understanding yourself and consider practical changes that may improve your wellbeing.

My aim is to build a relationship in which you feel both supported and able to grow.
