I offer compassionate, trauma-informed support to individuals seeking healing, personal growth, and emotional resilience. Whether you're navigating a specific life challenge, such as grief or existential issue, processing deep-rooted trauma, or simply longing for greater self-understanding, you're not alone — and you don’t have to walk this path by yourself.

Through 50-minute weekly sessions, I create a compassionate and non-judgmental space where clients feel safe to explore their thoughts, emotions, and experiences.

My approach is client-centred, meaning that I honour your unique perspective and pace, working collaboratively to support your healing and growth.

You are the expert in your own life. I am here to walk alongside you with empathy and respect to explore your challenges, discover your inner strength and grow towards wholeness.

My work is deeply rooted in humanistic values, which prioritise respect, empathy, and the inherent worth of every individual.

At the heart of my practice is the belief that healing occurs in the context of relationship—both the therapeutic relationship we create together and your relationship with yourself.

By addressing relational needs, cultivating self-awareness, and exploring the connection between body and mind, I aim to support you on your journey toward a deeper understanding of yourself, greater resilience, self-compassion, self-acceptance, and overall well-being. 

As a humanistic and integrative therapist I believe we are so much more than our physical bodies. We are mental, emotional, and spiritual beings - and healing means tending to all parts of ourselves and nurturing the connection between them.

I see the mind–body connection as a bridge to healing. Our bodies hold memories, emotions, and experiences that words alone can’t always reach. When we go through loss, trauma, stress, or anxiety, it shows up physically, in tightness, shallow breathing, exhaustion, or disrupted sleep. Even when the moment has passed, the body can still carry its echo, keeping us on alert or stuck in survival mode.

That’s why I weave body-based practices into therapy. Mindfulness, breath-work, guided relaxation, and somatic yoga help to regulate the nervous system, release tension, and restore a sense of safety and balance.

You can understand cognitively why you feel the way you do, and still not feel emotionally any better. True healing happens when the body and mind work together. Everyone deserves to feel safe, steady, and whole again, not just in your thoughts, but in your entire being. 

I offer a 20-minutes free initial consultation over the phone or a video call, where we can find out if we would like to work together.

The first in-person session will be charged at the standard rate of £50 per therapeutic hour (50 minutes).
