My approach to therapy is relational and collaborative. I don’t sit apart from you or analyse from a distance, we work together, paying attention to what feels most present and meaningful in the room. Every person brings their own history, pace, and way of being, and I adapt to what supports you best rather than following a fixed method or agenda.
I draw on a humanistic foundation, shaped by Person-Centred and Gestalt traditions. In practice, this means I listen closely to your experience and stay curious about how feelings show up in the body, how patterns form in relationships, and how past events may still influence the present. We might explore emotions more fully, slow down to notice what feels familiar or new, or gently question the internal beliefs and expectations that shape how you move through the world.
The relationship between us is central to the work. Therapy isn’t something I direct or interpret from afar - it is something we build together. I offer empathy, honesty, and warmth, creating a space where you can show up exactly as you are. I won’t rush you or push for outcomes. Instead, I stay alongside you, trusting that clarity and change emerge through your own understanding and the steadiness of the relationship we create.
I bring an ongoing reflection on social justice to my work. We each come into the room with our own backgrounds and life experiences, and I stay open to being challenged and changed by what arises between us. My intention is to create a space where all parts of you are welcome, including those shaped by culture, gender, race, sexuality, class, and personal history.
Throughout our sessions, I hold a confidential environment where you’re free to talk, feel, reflect, question, or explore new parts of yourself. You don’t need to have a clear goal or a tidy story. Whether you’re working through something painful, curious about patterns, or simply wanting a regular space to be with yourself each week, we’ll move at a rhythm that feels right for you.
