About me and my therapy practice
Over my time as a therapist, I鈥檝e seen again and again that, given the right conditions, people have a natural capacity to move through their difficulties and toward growth. I don鈥檛 see my role as 鈥渇ixing鈥 you, but as walking alongside you while you reconnect with your own inner resources, wisdom and resilience.
My approach is grounded in genuine care, respect and curiosity. I鈥檓 deeply interested in who you are and how you experience your world. I aim to offer a non-judgmental space where all of your thoughts, feelings and questions are welcome.
I鈥檓 passionate about personal agency鈥攕upporting people to feel more connected to the sense that they can influence their lives in thoughtful, authentic ways. Rather than living on autopilot, I help you become more aware of your choices and more aligned with what truly matters to you.
I also have a particular interest in existential themes. Many people, at some point, find themselves wrestling with big questions around identity, purpose, isolation, freedom, or the reality of life鈥檚 finiteness. These can feel daunting or uncomfortable, yet I believe that exploring them directly can be deeply liberating and clarifying. I am comfortable sitting with clients in these deeper conversations and helping them find meaning and personal direction through them.
Ultimately I enjoy helping people be reminded of how capable they are in understanding their own issues and the comforting and empowering sense that accompanies that work. This is what my training in Person Centred Therapy allows me to help facilitate with my clients. I aim to be the catalyst to help you help yourself.
Practice description
My therapeutic approach is collaborative and tailored to you. I bring presence, warmth and honesty, and I welcome the same from you in whatever form feels authentic. There is no 鈥渞ight鈥 way to be in our sessions鈥攋ust your way.
Seeking support can feel like a big step, whether you鈥檙e facing a specific challenge, feeling stuck, or simply wanting to understand yourself more deeply. I believe that therapy works best when you feel safe enough to bring your whole self into the room鈥攖houghts, feelings, questions, confusions and all.
At the heart of my practice is genuine care, respect and curiosity. I鈥檓 interested in you鈥攜our experiences, your story, your inner world鈥攁nd I offer a non-judgmental environment where all parts of you are welcome. Together, we can explore whatever you choose to bring, at a pace that feels right for you.
A key focus for me is personal agency. Life can sometimes leave us feeling powerless or disconnected from the sense that we have choice. I鈥檓 passionate about supporting people to reconnect with their ability to influence their lives in thoughtful, authentic ways鈥攕o that decisions come from a place of self-awareness and alignment, rather than fear, habit or external expectation.
I also have a particular interest in existential themes. Many people find themselves grappling at times with big themes such as isolation, meaninglessness and mortality. These topics can feel uncomfortable or even frightening, yet I believe that exploring them openly can lead to a surprising sense of freedom, meaning and relief.
If you鈥檙e curious about working together, I鈥檇 be glad to hear from you. Reaching out can be the first step toward creating a more grounded, empowered and meaningful life, and you don鈥檛 have to do it alone.
When you feel ready, we can arrange an initial conversation to see how therapy with me might feel for you.
I look forward to meeting you, just as you are.
My first session
I offer a free of charge 20 minute online session. This is where we can get to know each other and you can provide a brief overview of what you would like to bring to our work together.
After that, the pace and content of each session is lead by you. We progress at whatever speed feels comfortable and simply see what comes up. We will agree to look at everything without judgement and instead, work hard to instil a sense of curiosity.
I don't offer limited sessions and prefer to work in an open ended way; simply meaning you carry on for as long as you feel you need to.
