As a qualified integrative counsellor with core training in Psychodynamic and Humanistic approaches, I offer a warm, confidential, and non-judgmental space where you can explore what’s troubling you at your own pace. My work centres around the belief that healing happens through honest, compassionate dialogue and the therapeutic relationship itself—something I deeply value in my practice.

I understand that reaching out for therapy can feel daunting. You might be feeling overwhelmed, anxious, low in mood, or stuck in patterns that no longer serve you. You may not even know exactly what’s wrong—only that something doesn’t feel right. My role is to help you make sense of what you’re experiencing, whether you’re dealing with a specific issue like bereavement, relationship difficulties, anxiety, depression, trauma, or simply struggling to find meaning or direction in life.

My foundation in Psychodynamic therapy allows me to support clients in exploring how their past experiences, often rooted in early relationships, continue to influence present patterns, behaviours, and emotional responses—sometimes outside of conscious awareness. We may work with recurring themes, relational patterns, dreams, or defences that emerge in the therapeutic space. As we bring these dynamics into awareness, clients often find a deeper understanding of themselves and greater freedom to make different choices in their lives.

At the same time, my Humanistic orientation places a strong emphasis on your capacity for growth, self-acceptance, and personal agency. Drawing on models such as Person-Centred and Existential therapy, I honour each client as a unique individual with the potential to flourish. I will meet you with empathy, respect, and authenticity, working in partnership with you rather than from a position of authority. This approach helps many people reconnect with their inner values, make sense of their emotional world, and find a deeper sense of meaning and purpose.

What You Can Expect

My therapeutic style is relational, collaborative, and attuned. I aim to create a space where you feel truly heard and met, without pressure to be anything other than who you are. I work at your pace, and the focus of our work is guided by what you bring to each session.

You might come wanting to talk through a current crisis, or you might be curious to explore long-standing emotional difficulties, perhaps stemming from childhood experiences or unprocessed trauma. Whether short-term or open-ended, our work can provide a place for reflection, insight, and transformation.

As an integrative practitioner, I may gently draw on different techniques or perspectives depending on what’s most helpful for you, while staying rooted in the relational depth that defines both Humanistic and Psychodynamic work.

Choosing the right therapist is an important step, and the relationship you build with your therapist can be just as important as the modality or techniques used. I offer an initial consultation so we can discuss what brings you to therapy, and see whether we feel like a good fit. There’s no obligation to continue after this initial session—what matters most is that you feel safe and supported.

If you’re considering therapy and would like to explore how we might work together, please feel free to get in touch. I’m happy to answer any questions you may have and would be honoured to support you on your journey.
