My own experience has shaped how I see therapy: not as having all the answers, but as having the space to ask better questions and discover your own. Therefore, I see therapy as an equal partnership rather than something that is done for you. My role isn't to tell you who to be or to offer quick fixes, but to help you understand yourself more clearly, make sense of your experiences, and build the confidence to navigate life in a way that feels authentic to you. I work with adults navigating anxiety, relationship difficulties, burnout, grief and loss, life transitions, feeling stuck, and challenges with self-esteem and confidence. You don't have to be in a crisis to benefit from therapy - sometimes it's about breaking recurring patterns, understanding yourself better, or simply wanting to live life differently. I've always been interested in people's stories and the many different ways we see the world. When I'm not listening to people's life experiences in the therapy room, you'll probably find me doing the same at the book club I run - just with fictional characters, a debate or two, and a Spanish latte. Curiosity, openness to different perspectives, and expression are just as invaluable to me, with or without my therapist hat on. My approach is warm, collaborative, and tailored to suit you specifically. I use a unique combination of different therapy styles to match your needs, and our sessions would embody compassion, honesty, exploration, and a little humour alongside gentle challenges that help you grow. Together, we'll explore the experiences, beliefs, relationships, and patterns that have shaped you, with the aim of building insight, coping techniques, and confidence that extend beyond our sessions and into everyday life. I offer a free 15-minute consultation if you'd like to learn more about working together and see whether we're the right fit, with no obligation to continue.
