About me

I bring warmth, empathy and creativity to my work with clients and believe that the most healing part of therapy is the relationship created during this process. My approach engages you in an exploration of your life on an intellectual, emotional and spiritual level and you are offered space to share difficult feelings in a safe and supportive atmosphere. Whilst I am qualified and ethical, I'm not interested in hiding behind a professional persona, but enjoy meeting clients as fellow human beings, journeying together. I also have a rich life outside of being a therapist. I love my dogs and I am also a children's book author and illustrator and have a particular interest in working with fellow creatives.

My approach to individual therapy

Whilst there is no such thing as a ‘typical’ therapy session, working with me is most likely to include conversation which warmly supports your exploration around your issues as well as helping you make sense of your behaviour in many aspects of your life. I believe that good therapy goes beyond affirmation, and that considerate and compassionate challenge is also necessary. In other words, I won't just tell you what I want you to hear, but offer you feedback that I think will be helpful.

Our first individual session

A first session is a chance for us to see what brings you to therapy, what you're looking for and whether I'm the right person to journey with you. A good fit between us is important, so we need to check we're right for one another, and that I have the right skills to help.
