About me and my therapy practice
I believe that therapy is about having a safe space where you can be completely yourself, without judgement, and feel genuinely listened to and understood. As your therapist, I won’t tell you what you should do or make assumptions about what is best for you. Instead, I’ll work alongside you to understand your experiences, what matters to you and what you would like to be different.
My approach is person-centred, solution-focused and collaborative. I draw on Person-Centred Therapy, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), adapting the way we work to you and what you need rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach.
I’m particularly interested in helping you understand yourself with greater compassion, recognise your strengths and explore the patterns that may be keeping you feeling stuck. We can look at what you would like to change, what is already working, and the small, realistic steps that could help you move towards the life and relationships you want.
I want therapy with me to feel like a conversation with someone who is genuinely alongside you. There may be difficult conversations, moments of challenge and times when we simply need to slow things down and make sense of what you’re experiencing. We’ll work at a pace that feels right for you, with warmth, honesty and without judgement.
You don’t have to know exactly what you need from therapy before you start. Sometimes the first step is simply having somewhere safe to say, “I’m struggling, and I don’t really know where to start.” We can start there, together.
Practice description
I offer warm, compassionate and confidential online therapy for adults. I provide a safe, non-judgemental space where you can take time to understand what you’re experiencing, make sense of difficult emotions and explore what you would like to change.
I work with a range of concerns including anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, relationships, trauma, people-pleasing, life changes, grief and feeling overwhelmed or stuck. My approach is person-centred, solution-focused and collaborative, drawing on Person-Centred Therapy, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT).
My aim is to help you feel heard, understood and more connected to yourself, while supporting you to recognise your strengths and make meaningful changes at a pace that feels right for you.
My first session
Before we start therapy, I offer a free 15-minute consultation. This is a relaxed opportunity for us to have a brief chat, for you to tell me a little about what’s bringing you to therapy, and for you to ask any questions you may have.
Choosing a therapist is a personal decision, and it’s important that you feel comfortable with the person you’re going to work with. The consultation gives you a chance to get a feel for me and how I work, and for us to decide together whether I’m the right therapist for you.
There’s absolutely no pressure or obligation to book afterwards — it’s simply a chance to talk, ask questions and see how it feels.
