Why Choose Therapy with Me?

Tailored to You

No two journeys are the same. I take the time to truly understand your experiences and work with you to build a therapeutic approach that fits your individual needs, pace, and goals.

A Safe Space to Be Heard

Sometimes all we need is somewhere to speak freely. I offer a warm, completely confidential environment where you can share what's on your mind without fear of judgement.

Support That Goes at Your Pace

Healing isn't linear and there's no rush. Whether you're taking your first step or continuing a longer journey, I'll be with you every step of the way — at whatever pace feels right for you.

How I Can Help

Services Offered

Counselling and Psychotherapy

Counselling and psychotherapy offer a confidential, non-judgemental space where you can speak openly about whatever you are carrying. Whether you are navigating a difficult period, feeling overwhelmed, or struggling to make sense of your emotions, therapy provides a calm environment to explore your thoughts and feelings. For those seeking deeper work, psychotherapy invites you to explore the underlying patterns, beliefs, and past experiences that shape how you think, feel, and relate to others — supporting you to understand yourself more fully and create lasting change.

Humanistic | Person Centred Therapy

Humanistic and person centred therapy focuses on you as a whole person, supporting your natural capacity for growth and change. It offers a safe, non-judgemental, empathic space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings. This approach can support issues including low mood, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and life transitions including menopause, grief, and loss.

Psychodynamic Therapy

Psychodynamic therapy explores how your past experiences and unconscious patterns shape the way you think, feel, and relate to others today. Rather than focusing only on surface-level symptoms, this approach gently uncovers the deeper roots of emotional difficulty. By developing greater self-awareness and insight, psychodynamic therapy can help you break unhelpful cycles, understand your relationships more clearly, and create meaningful, lasting change in your life.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is a structured, evidence-based approach that explores the connection between your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. By identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and the impact they have on how you feel and act, CBT supports you to develop practical tools and strategies for everyday life. This approach can be particularly effective for anxiety, low mood, depression, stress, and a range of other emotional difficulties.
