About me and my therapy practice
Welcome. Feeling burnt-out, anxious, depressed, or held back by past traumas? Perhaps you are seeking personal growth, self-care or navigating challenging relationships.
If so, let's talk. I'm an integrative, relational therapist grounded in curiosity, compassion, creativity and an occasional sprinkling of humour and joy.
Prior to retraining as a therapist, I worked in the charity sector, supporting young people affected by child sexual exploitation, parents whose children were affected by sexual and criminal exploitation and families experiencing conflict and various traumatic events. These experiences supported me in developing a commitment to trauma and shame sensitive practice, an inclusive approach and an understanding of systemic barriers, judgement and bias. Therapeutically, I have experience of supporting people with life altering illness, bereavement, domestic and sexual abuse, men’s mental health, anxiety, depression and sexuality. I am influenced by social justice, asking not ‘what is wrong with’, but what’s wrong FOR you’ and ‘what do you need.’
Practice description
Grounded in a person- centred and relational approach our relationship matters and it is through the secure building of and commitment to this, that you are better able to bring your whole self.
Developing a trusting relationship, through listening and attuning to the whole of you (mind, body and soul), can allow a collaborative, curious and gently paced exploration of the issues, needs and goals that have brought you to therapy. I work collaboratively, encouraging you to feel in control of therapy, yourself and your life.
My first session
On enquiry, if relevant, you can check whether I have any spaces available for online concessionary rates (I allow a limited number of spaces). Concessions are available to people on Universal Credit, PIP, asylum seekers or students.
I offer a free 20 minute video consultation for you to ask any questions and for us to get a sense of if we're the right fit. It's important that you feel that you can work with me and there is no obligation for you to sign up to therapy with me following this.
If you do want to continue, within the first session we will both sign a contact and contract form to ensure that we have clear expectations. We will explore what does and doesn't work for you and any goals you may have, though it's okay not to know at this point.
