About me and my therapy practice
I鈥檓 a registered Integrative Counsellor and Trauma-Informed Practitioner with over six years鈥 experience supporting children, teens, and adults. My approach draws on person-centred values, creative methods, and systemic insight鈥攖ailored to each individual.
I offer talk therapy and expressive approaches including art, play, and metaphor to help clients explore experiences when words are hard to find. Therapy with children is playful and emotionally attuned, helping them feel safe, understood, and confident in expressing themselves. Many begin to feel lighter, more settled, and better able to make sense of big emotions鈥攐ften describing our sessions as a calm space where they feel truly listened to.
I also support neurodivergent clients, adapting my approach to meet sensory needs, communication preferences, and emotional regulation challenges with flexibility and care.
Clients often describe me as warm, steady, and empowering. Sessions are available face-to-face for children, and online (via video or telephone) for teens and adults. Whether you鈥檙e navigating trauma, anxiety, grief, neurodivergence, or emotional overwhelm, you鈥檒l find a safe, compassionate space to be heard and supported.
Practice description
How I Work Therapy with me is a relational and creative process, grounded in trust, psychological safety, and genuine connection. I offer a calm, compassionate space where you can feel accepted, supported, and free to explore what鈥檚 weighing on you鈥攚ithout pressure or judgment.
I work responsively, adapting to your pace and way of making meaning. Sessions may include reflection, gentle challenge, creativity, and shared insight. I integrate talk therapy with expressive tools such as metaphor, symbolism, and art鈥攅specially when words feel stuck or emotion needs space to breathe. You don鈥檛 need to have all the answers or 鈥減erform鈥 therapy; together, we make sense of what鈥檚 unfolding.
A strong, trusting therapeutic relationship sits at the heart of our work. It鈥檚 the foundation for healing, clarity, and lasting emotional resilience. Whether you're navigating trauma, anxiety, grief, neurodivergence, or relational stress, our work is collaborative and rooted in curiosity, growth, and self-connection.
I offer both online (video or telephone) and face-to-face sessions, with flexible appointment times to fit your life. Therapy is available face-to-face for children, and online or face-to-face for teens and adults. With children, sessions are creative and playful, helping them feel safe, heard, and able to explore big emotions in ways that suit their developmental needs. Many describe therapy as a space where they feel calmer, more confident, and better able to make sense of their world.
Empowering minds to shine through compassionate, creative therapy.
My first session
First Session The first session is a gentle starting point. It鈥檚 a chance for you to share what鈥檚 brought you to therapy, ask questions, and see if it feels like a good fit. There鈥檚 no pressure to open up straight away鈥攊t鈥檚 about beginning to build trust, comfort, and emotional safety.
Before we meet, I may offer a short form and reflection questions to help understand your background, current struggles, and what鈥檚 already helping. These are simply a guide for our work together and are revisited now and then to check in on how things are going.
For children and teens, I include time with both the young person and their parent or carer. This helps me understand their world, build connection, and gently explore any worries or strengths. Regular check-ins with you are part of how we stay connected and make sure everyone feels supported as therapy progresses.
While the first session is charged at the usual rate, I do offer a free, informal referral call if you鈥檇 like to talk before deciding to book.
