Who I work with.

Many people come to therapy feeling anxious, unsure of themselves, or stuck in patterns they don’t fully understand. You may notice these patterns showing up in different areas of life — including relationships, work, or how you relate to yourself.

You might feel overwhelmed, self-critical, emotionally reactive, or disconnected at times. Often, people arrive knowing something isn’t working, but unsure where to begin.

My stance.

I’m interested in understanding people rather than fixing them. Much of my work focuses on helping clients make sense of their emotional responses and behaviour patterns, and exploring where these may have developed.

Therapy with me is collaborative, non-judgemental, and paced around what feels manageable. I aim to offer a steady, containing space where you don’t have to perform, explain yourself perfectly, or rush change.

My approach.

I’m a qualified counsellor working in private practice. My work is informed by attachment theory, relational approaches, and nervous-system awareness.

Rather than focusing on symptoms alone, we pay attention to your lived experience — emotions, bodily responses, thoughts, and relational patterns — with curiosity and compassion.


Personal understanding


Alongside my professional training, I’ve also worked therapeutically on my own attachment patterns.
This means I’m familiar — both personally and professionally — with experiences such as over-explaining, seeking reassurance from others, doubting your own judgement, or softening boundaries out of fear of abandonment.

This shapes how I listen and how I work.

What changes

Therapy can support greater self-understanding, emotional regulation, and a stronger sense of self, including insight into behaviour patterns and how these show up in relationships.


Is this the right fit?

I work in a gentle, thoughtful way and am particularly suited to people who want to understand themselves more deeply, rather than follow a rigid or prescriptive approach.
