About me and my therapy practice
I bring a wealth of lived experience into my work, alongside formal training and ongoing professional development. As an integrative, trauma‑informed practitioner, I draw from a range of therapeutic approaches to help you explore your experiences, understand your emotions, and make sense of what feels difficult. If one way of working doesn’t fit, we adapt together — your therapy is shaped collaboratively, at a pace that feels right for you.
I hold a degree in counselling and continue to expand my knowledge through further training, reflective practice, and specialist development. I am an Accredited Children & Young Persons Practitioner, and my work is grounded in compassion, curiosity, and a commitment to supporting emotional wellbeing across the lifespan.
My approach is relational, flexible, and responsive. Above all, I offer a safe, non‑judgemental space where you can explore, grow, and feel supported as you move toward greater clarity and balance.
Practice description
My first session
Your first session is a gentle space to explore what you need from therapy and to get a feel for how we might work together. We’ll talk about what’s brought you here, what you’re hoping for, and what feels important right now. Together, we’ll decide whether I’m the right fit for you, and if so, we’ll agree on a way of working that feels comfortable and supportive. We’ll also look at session times that suit your routine.
I offer a free 15‑minute introductory call so you can ask questions, get a sense of my approach, and see whether working together feels right for you.
