About me and my therapy practice
I’m a warm, down‑to‑earth therapist offering online therapy for people who feel stuck in long‑standing emotional patterns or overwhelmed by the weight of caring for others. My approach is gentle, steady, and collaborative, creating a space where you can explore the deeper roots of your experiences at your own pace.
I trained at the Metanoia Institute and have worked within the NHS, supporting people through a wide range of emotional and relational challenges. This background allows me to offer therapy that is both clinically grounded and deeply human. I work with issues such as intergenerational trauma, people‑pleasing, identity‑based stress, and the exhaustion of always being the one who holds everything together.
Together, we make sense of your story, reconnect with your needs, and develop more compassionate ways of relating to yourself and others.
Practice description
My practice is a calm, supportive space where you can bring whatever feels heavy, confusing, or long‑standing. Many clients come to me feeling unheard, overwhelmed, or stuck in familiar emotional loops. I work relationally, paying close attention to your lived experience, your relationships, and the patterns that have shaped your life.
Sessions are collaborative and paced gently. We explore what’s happening in the present while also understanding the deeper context — family dynamics, identity, cultural influences, or long‑held roles such as being the caretaker or peace‑keeper. My aim is to help you feel more grounded, more connected to yourself, and more able to move forward in a way that feels authentic.
I offer online therapy through a secure platform, giving you flexibility and privacy. My practice is particularly suited to people who value depth, reflection, and a therapeutic relationship built on trust and steadiness.
My first session
Our first session is a gentle introduction to working together. We take time to explore what has brought you to therapy, what you’re hoping for, and what feels most pressing right now. I won’t rush you or expect you to have everything figured out — it’s simply a space to begin telling your story and to get a sense of whether we feel like a good fit.
I may ask a few grounding questions to help us understand your background and current circumstances, but the session is led by what feels comfortable for you. I don’t use formal assessments; instead, we focus on building a shared understanding of your needs.
Sessions take place online through a secure platform, offering privacy and ease of access. If you decide to continue, we’ll work at a pace that feels manageable and supportive.
