I work with adults from a wide range of backgrounds and with many different reasons for coming to therapy. I particularly enjoy working with people who are curious about the patterns underlying their difficulties and who want to use therapy as an opportunity for deeper personal development. I often work with people who are high-achieving, perfectionistic or accustomed to putting other people's needs first. For some, a significant life transition or change in identity has prompted them to question how they've been living. Others are beginning to recognise connections between their present difficulties and experiences earlier in life. Sometimes we need practical strategies to get through a difficult period. But sometimes the same difficulties keep returning, or we begin to realise that there's something deeper we'd like to understand. That's where I think therapy can become particularly valuable — not simply helping you cope with what is happening now, but exploring the patterns, relationships and experiences that have shaped how you see yourself and the world. We can begin by understanding what brings you to therapy and what you'd like to change. As our work develops, we can think together about what would be most useful for you and whether a longer therapeutic process feels appropriate.
