About me

My aim is to provide a safe, confidential, and non-judgemental environment where you can freely explore your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours at a pace that feels right for you. My approach is collaborative and attuned to your individual needs. Together we will explore what lies beneath the surface—the emotions, patterns, and past experiences that may be shaping your present. The therapeutic relationship is a key part of the process and invite you to consider new perspectives and ways of being by creating space for inner experience - An essential component for growth and transformative healing. As an integrative psychotherapist, I draw from multiple schools of psychotherapy to help you identify core emotional challenges and support your emotional growth and therapeutic goals. I frequently integrate Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP). This approach distils the most effective elements of psychodynamic therapy into a more targeted strategy to promote transformation. It emphasises our conscious and unconscious interactions with ourselves and others, with an emphasis on the experiential— there must be a deeper embodiment that comes through the felt experience of change, rather than insight alone. This is a relatively directive approach, which means the therapist does not take a passive role but is actively engaged and works alongside you. Alongside AEDP, I also draw from other modalities such as Internal Family Systems (IFS), Sensorimotor & body-based practices; ACT and Mindfulness-based approaches; Gestalt chair work; and experiential inquiry. With a background in both the creative and financial industries, I bring an in-depth understanding of the challenges often faced by individuals working in these fields. I have a particular interest in working with neurodiverse clients and offer support to individuals navigating the emotional impact of a late diagnosis.
