For people who have spent a long time masking, coping or overthinking.
I work with people who are tired of just getting by. People who think a lot, feel a lot, and are ready to make sense of why certain things keep happening - in their relationships, their work, or just in the way they move through the world
Integrative, body-aware, trauma-informed.
◎ HOW I WORKI don't work from a single model. My training is integrative - which means I draw on different theoretical frameworks depending on what you bring and what seems most useful. These are the approaches that most shape my thinking.
Relational and Psychodynamic
Early relationships shape the patterns we carry into adulthood — in how we attach, relate, and see ourselves. Understanding those influences makes them easier to work with.
Body-based and neuroscience-informed
Chronic stress tends to pull us into our heads and away from the body. Paying attention to our body is often where the most useful information lives - and where regulation becomes possible, not just insight.
Existential and humanistic
I'm interested in meaning, the choices you've made or avoided, and what kind of person you want to be. Not philosophical for its own sake, but as a way of feeling more agency over your own life.
Trauma-informed
I have additional training in trauma and work in a trauma-informed way throughout - regardless of whether trauma is the presenting reason for coming. I work at a pace that feels safe and steady.
I practise inclusively — across age, race, background, gender, sexuality, and relationship styles. I have significant experience supporting neurodivergent clients and work in a neuro-affirmative way.
Three things I want
you to know about
working with me
01.
You don't have to work it out alone
A lot of people arrive having spent years trying to figure themselves out on their own. Therapy gives you someone to think alongside - someone who's genuinely curious, and won't just reflect things back at you.
02.
I want to help you get beyond
survival mode
Coping is a strategy, it is not a destination. The goal isn't to help you manage better - it's to help you understand what's underneath well enough that the coping becomes less necessary.
03.
I help you take therapy
beyond the room
Understanding yourself is part of it. But I care about therapy feeling useful - not just interesting. Something should be shifting in how you relate, how you work, how you rest even outside of the therapy room.
◎ WHAT TO EXPECT IN SESSIONSSome sessions feel s p a c i o u s
Particularly in the early stages, when we're trying to put words to things that have been difficult to articulate. A lot of the people I work with spend a great deal of time in their heads — analysing, anticipating, managing. Part of the work is slowing down enough to notice what else is there.
Some sessions are more direct
At other times I'll be more direct - naming something I've noticed, questioning a familiar pattern, or sitting with what's getting in the way. The relationship we build together tends to reflect something about the relationships outside the room. That includes the one you have with yourself.
Therapy should help you need it less, not more.
◎ HOW I SEE THIS WORK Therapy can't remove the difficulties of being human. I don't think it should try. What it can do is help you understand yourself well enough that those difficulties become more manageable -and less defining.
I'm not interested in therapy that creates dependence -that keeps you coming back without moving forward. The goal is always that you leave with something real: a clearer sense of yourself, more capacity to navigate difficulty, and less need to sit in this chair
