It is easy to lose sight of who we are and the connections we have with people in the fast-paced world of today. The client-therapist relationship can play a fundamental role in connection but also in fostering positive growth. As a humanistic integrative therapist, I use a variety of approaches when collaborating with my clients and believe in my clients’ inner wisdom to guide them. I see my role as providing challenge, compassion and accountability along the way. I have worked in the mental health field with both individuals and families as a mental health practitioner. This includes time spent in the NHS working with those dealing with a range of life factors, including relationship difficulties, work-related stress, burnout, anxiety, depression, personality disorders, family problems, grief, and life transitions. I see the fundamental importance of the client-therapist relationship and I am convinced that this connection is vital to facilitating positive change. Modern-day living often leads us to lose connection with ourselves and others. I have a background in the mental health sector working with children, young people, adults, and families as a mental health practitioner, including work in the NHS. This has equipped me to work with a wide range of life factors including living with anxiety, depression, personality disorders, family breakdown, loss, life transitions, work-related stress, burnout and relationship difficulties.

Recognising the uniqueness of each person, I use a broad range of therapeutic techniques and philosophies, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Gestalt, and Psychodynamic approaches. I actively listen closely to my clients so I can understand their needs and we can focus on what it takes to help them reach their goals. I pay special attention to intersectionality which is how aspects like gender, ethnicity, sexuality, and other identities influence our experiences. This allows me to create an inclusive environment where clients feel welcome to bring their whole selves to therapy. This includes being neurodiversity friendly. I provide a space where clients can reconnect with themselves, gain deeper self-awareness, tackle challenges, better understand their emotions, and foster meaningful change.
