How I work

I trained as an integrative therapist, which means I draw on a range of therapeutic approaches, tailoring my work to each person's individual needs. While I work integratively, I am particularly influenced by Attachment Theory in understanding relationships, and by Psychodynamic Theory in exploring how our early and formative relationships shape our sense of self.

Often, what we experience in the present is influenced by echos of past experiences in ways that are outside our conscious awareness. Part of therapy with me can be gently exploring these deeper emotional layers, helping you to understand where your feelings and patterns may have originated. Current situations and relationships sometimes trigger familiar emotional responses and developing a fuller understanding of these connections can help make sense of your emotional world, creating greater self-awareness and opening up the possibility for lasting change.

Alongside this deeper exploratory work, I also take a practical approach to supporting clients experiencing anxiety and depression. Therapy can provide both a space to understand what lies beneath these difficulties and practical strategies to help you begin moving towards meaningful change.

I have particular experience in helping clients manage and reduce anxiety, offering a range of approaches to better understand anxious patterns, regulate overwhelming emotions, and navigate life's stresses with greater confidence. I also work with clients experiencing depression, exploring its underlying causes, which are often rooted in how we feel about ourselves and the beliefs we have developed through earlier life experiences. By addressing both the symptoms and the deeper emotional roots, therapy can support lasting change as well as relief in the present.

I bring passion and compassion to my work and will always have your best interests at heart.
