My Approach

I support people experiencing a range of concerns, drawing on therapeutic approaches including psychodynamic, person-centred, behavioural, and mindfulness. Support is always shaped around your individual needs, goals, and preferences and sessions can be short- or long-term, depending on what suits you best.

​

I offer an affirming space where LGBTQIA+ and neurodivergent people are met with understanding, not explanation. Your identity, experience, and way of being are respected and central to how we work together.

​

When working with children and adolescents, I use a child-centred approach, integrating creative methods such as art and play therapy with behavioural, narrative, and solution-focused techniques. Each session is shaped by the child’s individual pace, needs, and stage of development

​

I am a trained hypnotherapist, offering a gentle yet effective way to access the subconscious mind,  helping to bring about positive changes in habits, behaviours, and deeply-held beliefs.

 

As well as my private practice, I am a school counsellor, and a counsellor for a charity supporting victims of domestic abuse.
