About Me / Experience

I help support adults and young adults through challenging times, including periods of anxiety, stress, depression, bereavement, low self-esteem, relationship and family issues, as well as major life transitions. 

People come to therapy for many different reasons and I believe that it takes courage to do so. My focus is on creating a warm, non-judgemental and supportive space, where you can reflect on your current situation and feel truly accepted and heard.

I am an integrative psychotherapist and have been trained in a variety of therapeutic approaches. I believe that some counselling styles suit some people more than others, so I adapt my approach to support your current needs.

I will help support you in exploring a deeper understanding of what might be troubling you. We can then work together to navigate and make sense of complex feelings, helping you identify ways to make positive changes to your life.

I provide both open-ended psychotherapy and short-term counselling (up to 12 weeks), both in person or online, depending on what feels right for you.
