About me and my therapy practice
Sometimes relationships with partners, peers or family members can be difficult to navigate. You might have found your self in negative cycles repeating unhealthy patterns or you might be struggling to process the trauma of an abusive or emotionally harmful experience. By working together I can help you to create healthier boundaries and rebuild your self esteem and self worth.
Maybe your struggling to understand your ADHD or Autistic brain and manage the emotional overwhelm you get when life feels too much. we can work collaboratively to make sense of your experiences while developing emotional regulation and self-compassion.
I work with children, young people and adults and my aim is always to create a safe, inclusive, and supportive environment where you can explore your experiences at your own pace, whether it's rooted in the past, present or future.
I believe that therapy doesn’t have to feel intimidating. It can be a space where you're met with compassion, curiosity, and support and where small steps can lead to meaningful change.
Practice description
I use an integrative approach which means I draw on various approaches to fit the individual needs of each client.
Depending on your needs, I might integrate mindfulness techniques to help calm your mind and manage emotional overwhelm.
With child clients, depending on their age and needs, I can help them to express them selves, process their big feelings and build confidence by working creatively through play.
Life can be overwhelming at times, Let's work together to help you thrive.
I can offer both long term and short term therapy.
My first session
Seeking support can feel scary and overwhelming but I want to put your mind at ease and let you know that in my sessions, there's no pressure, we can go at your pace.
In the first session I will have some questions to go through with you to help me get an idea of what's going on for you and how I can support you. I will also be able to answer any questions about counselling you might have.
The first session is an opportunity for you to see if you feel comfortable with me and if you will be happy to work with me.
I also offer a free 15 minute consultation telephone call where I can answer any initial questions.
