As a registered BACP member, I'm fully insured and DBS checked. My experience spans diverse communities, including work with disabled children, young adults, and in dementia care.
Confidentiality and Professionalism
Your privacy and trust are my top priorities. As a BACP-registered therapist, I adhere to strict confidentiality guidelines, ensuring that what's shared in our sessions stays between us, barring risks of serious harm. I'm fully insured and DBS checked for your peace of mind.
During our first session, we'll review and sign a contract outlining our therapeutic relationship, including detailed confidentiality terms. This creates a secure foundation for open, honest communication and your personal growth.
Feel free to ask any questions about this process - I'm here to ensure you feel safe and supported throughout our work together.
My approach blends various therapeutic methods to create a personalised treatment plan just for you. I offer a safe, non-judgmental space where we'll explore your experiences and develop practical strategies to overcome challenges.
I work with diverse clients on issues including anxiety, depression, relationships, personal growth, and identity. My practice is inclusive, trauma-informed, and grounded in social justice and equity.
If you're seeking a supportive, adaptable therapist with a touch of humour and plenty of compassion, let's team up to empower your best self!

Psychodynamic Therapy
In psychodynamic therapy, we explore how your past shapes your present. By examining childhood experiences and relationships, we uncover unconscious patterns affecting your life today. This self-discovery process helps you make intentional choices and build fulfilling relationships. Our therapeutic relationship provides a safe space for exploration, leading to deeper self-understanding and personal growth.

Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT helps you tackle negative thoughts and behaviours head-on. We'll identify unhelpful thought patterns, challenge them, and develop more balanced perspectives. You'll learn practical coping strategies to manage stress, anxiety, and depression. By changing both thoughts and actions, CBT empowers you to build resilience and take control of your well-being.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
I offer a warm, judgment-free space to explore your anxiety and relationship challenges. We'll uncover root causes, develop tailored coping strategies, and build practical skills. By blending various therapeutic approaches, we'll create a personalized plan that honours your unique experiences and cultural background. Together, we'll work towards greater self-awareness, improved communication, and more fulfilling relationships.

How Long will it take?
Making changes in your life takes time and hard work. There are no shortcuts to personal transformation. While you may find some quick wins from starting therapy, it will usually take commitment and repetition to make real and substantial change. At the beginning, it’s hard to know exactly how long the process will take. This is a topic you are welcome to bring up and talk about with your therapist. It doesn’t have to be a mystery.
