About me.
My Approach
There might be a feeling that something isn’t quite right, but you’re not yet sure what that is. Whether seeking support for anxiety, depression, or searching to deepen your self-understanding, I offer warmth and gentle curiosity about your experiences in the world. I respond to you as a unique individual with compassion and the awareness that we are shaped by our experience and that we can create meaningful change through understanding ourselves.
Working integratively, and grounded in a relational approach to psychodynamic, person-centred and cognitive behavioural therapy, I can blend talking therapy with creativity, music and art - helping you to express and explore emotions in a way that feels right for you.
