My Approach
I believe that feeling safe, heard and understood is an important part of therapy. The relationship between counsellor and client can create space to explore thoughts, feelings and patterns that may have felt difficult to make sense of alone.
I work integratively and relationally, which means therapy is adapted to suit you as an individual rather than expecting you to fit into one fixed way of working. I draw from different approaches depending on your experiences, needs and way of processing the world.
The pace of therapy matters to me. Some people arrive wanting to talk openly straight away, while others may need more time, pauses or space before things begin to feel clearer. There is no expectation to “do therapy properly” or always know what to say.
My work is informed by psychodynamic and attachment-based thinking, exploring how past experiences and relationships can continue to affect the present. I also draw on mindfulness, somatic mind–body awareness and inner parts work where these feel helpful and supportive.
I work in a neurodivergent-affirming way and have experience supporting autistic people and those with ADHD or dyslexia. For many people, life can involve a great deal of masking, over-adapting or feeling misunderstood. Therapy can offer a space with less pressure to explain yourself perfectly or fit into expectations that have never felt natural.
Alongside this, I bring a systemic perspective to my work, recognising the wider family, relational and social experiences that can shape how we see ourselves and others. Where appropriate, I may also incorporate transgenerational exploration and Systemic Family Constellation work.
