I've spent twenty years sitting in rooms with people who are trying to work out how to live differently.  Watching what actually works and what keeps people stuck.

I work with grief, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, addiction, trauma, and the patterns that show up across all of these. I'm trained in Humanistic counselling and Transactional Analysis psychotherapy, which helps us talk about what's happening without it feeling clinical.

I pay attention to how people talk about themselves, the small ways we step out of our own stories. I'll challenge you when it helps, but carefully. Shame shuts people down. Direct and kind seems to work better.

I work with people dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, addiction, and that broader category of "something's not right but I can't quite name it." I'm integrative in approach, which is a fancy way of saying I don't believe one method works for everyone. What matters is what works for you.

I'm also aware that finding a therapist can feel oddly exposing, you're essentially googling strangers and trying to work out if you could bear sitting in a room with them once a week. It's strange. So I try to make the practical bits as straightforward as possible, clear fees, and an actual answer when you get in touch rather than a form that goes into the void.
