About me and my therapy practice
You might be feeling anxious, stressed, burned out or just "not right". Perhaps life is feeling more difficult than it did and more challenging than it should. You've recognised you may benefit from professional support and now you're trying to find someone who can listen, engage and support you through the process.
Taking the first step by seeking out a therapist is a big deal. But choosing the right therapist is difficult and much of it comes down to gut feel - it's an important relationship and you need to feel like the person will understand you, respect you and work with you without judgement. I hope this page gives you a sense of who I am and why I might be able to help.
Practice description
My background in law, politics and running my own business gives me a genuine appreciation of the challenges of real life. Retraining as a therapist after a varied career has gifted me a broad perspective and an open mind. I avoid the clichés because I've seen them from both sides.
There's no rigidity here. We work together on your terms - whether that’s focusing on an immediate concern or exploring how life could be more fulfilling, balanced and joyful. Good therapy is based on a strong relationship that builds over time. Commitment from both of us to create a respectful space, full of honesty and free from judgement.
If you're considering therapy for the first time, or are returning after being burned in the past, why not get in touch for a free, no-commitment introductory chat? It'll help you work out if I'm the best fit. There's lots more about me, my therapy space and our work together on my website. Thanks for coming this far - this time, therapy really might be for you.
A note on the way I work: Although there are countless therapy modalities, I'm not wedded to any one in particular. I'm a fan of a pluralistic approach - developing our approach together, drawing on what you connect with as much as my own professional knowledge and experience.
My first session
Choosing a therapist is difficult, so I offer a free 15-minute introductory call so we can get to know a little about one another.
In our first full session, we can discuss your experience of therapy, how you want to work, expectations, concerns and goals. To begin, we'll focus on making you feel comfortable - the relationship is critical to therapy working for you.
If, after the first session, you'd rather not continue, then there's no obligation whatsoever. I'll support you in finding something that's better suited to your needs. But hopefully, the first session will be our first step forward, together.
