Your Unique Therapy Journey

Each of us is unique, with our own unique life stories. The way we see ourselves and the world is shaped by our experiences, relationships, and the narratives we carry within.

How I Can Support You

In individual therapy, I work with people experiencing heightened anxiety, low self-worth, and low mood, supporting them in becoming more grounded, self-accepting, and more at ease within themselves.

I have a particular interest in attachment, relational trauma and neurodiversity.

My Approach

I am passionate about psychological wellbeing. 

My approach is warm, respectful and rooted in the belief that meaningful change is possible for everyone. Sometimes, the beginning of change means learning to accept ourselves exactly where we are and take it from there.

My style is collaborative and focused on the here-and-now, while exploring past and present relational experiences, when relevant. 

My practice is underpinned by Transactional Analysis; a versatile, widely recognised and efficient approach to therapy that improves both individual and social well-being. It focuses on an in-depth understanding of ourselves and our relational patterns.

  • Healthy Relationship Checklist

    Healthy Relationship Checklist

    There isn’t a one-size-fits-all recipe for our relationships, as they are unique. However, some practices and attitudes can make our connections stronger, more respectful, and ultimately more fulfilling. We can think of it like a checklist, although this is by no means an exhaustive checklist!  Let’s break it down into a few key areas:…

  • Unhelpful Communication Cycles in Relationships

    Unhelpful Communication Cycles in Relationships

    Our relationships are deeply influenced by our thoughts and beliefs. Often, the way we react to others is shaped more by our subjective interpretation of events than by what’s actually happening in the moment. When we feel defensive in our relationships, it’s often a sign that we’re responding not to the present situation, but…

    Reclaiming Your Time as a Parent

The pressure, whether real or perceived, can be high. The pressure to meet everyone’s needs – at work, at home, and even within yourself – often leads to exhaustion, frustration, and self-doubt.  If you’re also struggling…
