Therapy can be a place to pause, breathe, and come into closer contact with yourself. It offers space to reflect on the patterns that shape your life and relationships, and to explore both the difficulties and the possibilities that arise along the way. Whether you are facing emotional challenges, seeking support in a time of change, or simply curious about your own growth, therapy can help you find new perspectives, build resilience, and move toward a more grounded and fulfilling way of living.

​

I understand therapy as a meeting of two people where different ways of knowing and experiencing come together. Sometimes this unfolds in ways that we may not fully understand, yet I trust that what emerges between us is part of the journey. I invite us to learn from these moments together, recognising that we are part of something larger, some call it the Universe, others Spirit. In every meeting it is not only about words and thoughts, but also about presence, embodied awareness, and trusting that what is most needed will arise.

​

While my approach is deeply relational and open to the mystery of human encounter, it is also grounded in robust theoretical perspectives of Gestalt psychotherapy, neuroscience, and trauma-informed practice. This balance allows us to honour both the immediacy of lived experience and the wider body of knowledge that supports healing and growth.

Practicalities

​

Individual therapy usually takes place once a week, at a set time and place. Research shows that weekly sessions provide the most effective way of working, offering continuity, depth, and a steady rhythm of support. Therapy can be:

• Short-term (6–12 sessions): More structured, focused on a specific issue or situation.

• Long-term (a few months to a few years): A deeper exploration of ingrained or historical difficulties.

• Couples counselling: Usually short-term (6–8 sessions), focusing on relational dynamics.

​

I also offer supervision, which typically takes place fortnightly, providing a regular and supportive space to reflect on practice from an embodied and relational perspective. In supervision, I invite therapists to explore and develop their own therapeutic style. I do not see myself purely as an expert but as a fellow traveller, walking alongside you as we learn from the process together.

​

In addition, I offer EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing), a structured approach that can be helpful for processing difficult or overwhelming experiences. These sessions usually last 90 minutes, as the longer timeframe allows the process to unfold more gently and effectively.

Counselling and psychotherapy can support you with a wide range of issues, including:

​

• Family, relationship, and work-related difficulties

• Gender, sexuality, intimacy, and connection

• Identity, belonging, race, culture, age, and life transitions, including experiences of immigration or being a refugee

• Sadness, depression, emptiness, and loss of meaning

• Low self-esteem, confidence, or self-worth

• Self-harm, suicidal thoughts, or addictive and obsessive behaviours

• Anxiety, stress, panic, or fear

• Trauma and abuse (sexual, physical, emotional, financial, bullying)

• Eating difficulties and struggles with the body

• Bereavement, grief, illness, death, and dying

• Existential and spiritual questions

​

While these may be some of the reasons people come to therapy, I believe we are always more than the struggles we face. Whatever the symptom or difficulty, exploring it often leads to a deeper understanding of the creative adjustments and ways we have learned to cope with life. Therapy can be a space to honour these patterns while also discovering new possibilities for connection, resilience, and growth.
