About

I am available to help individuals wanting a place to discuss current or longstanding issues they wish to understand better. My approach to therapy is humanistic, relational and integrative; in practice this means I seek to understand you, your perspectives and experiences and offer a warm interest in your emotional wellbeing.

I offer an open, collaborative and non-judgemental space where you can reflect, share your concerns and problems and explore them and your responses to them holistically. I strive to work transparently with you and am open to feedback on your experience of and within our work so that your therapeutic journey progresses at a pace that is both comfortable, and when you are ready, suitably challenges you to reflect further or reach for what you feel is most growthful for you.


Specialist interest:


I am trained in Gestalt, Person-Centred and Transactional Analysis approaches and philosophy and use these to help me understand you, your history, your relationship with yourself, your environment and those you are in relationship with.


I am trained to work with a wide range of issues and have a particular interest in difficult interpersonal relationship dynamics (personal, professional and familial), shame, anger and anxiety and work frequently with experiences of intergenerational trauma and with individuals wishing to explore issues of cultural/cross-cultural identity development and marginalisation.

I am deeply interested in people’s experiences of the world and alongside my psychology and psychotherapy training, I am influenced by many thinkers in the fields of philosophy, sociology and politics. As such, I strive to consider the personal as well as the environmental and cultural landscapes of people’s lives recognising that we do not live in a vacuum and that context and perspective are vital, varied and can be enriching as well as complicating factors. I consider openness and continual reflection upon this complexity as a fundamental underpinning of my approach. I am committed to respect and honour your uniqueness within our work.
