About me.

Connection, collaboration, empathy, and open-mindedness are values that lay the foundation for my clinical work. I am passionate about cultivating a safe, non-judgemental and supportive space for my clients to freely express and explore their experiences. In therapy, I am warm and deeply attuned to you moment by moment, mindful of my tone and words, seeking verbal confirmation and consent before exploring challenging material, moving at your pace, and creating space for you to engage safely. My aim is to help you deepen self-understanding, navigate and resolve challenges, and enhance your life while cultivating a deep sense of inner harmony.

I draw upon a range of modalities, including inner child work, re-parenting, parts work, IFS, EMDR, attachment-based therapy, somatic psychotherapy, imagery rescripting, ACT, and mindfulness. I specialise in supporting clients with trauma, sexual abuse, eating disorders, and any emotional, physical, or psychological challenges (e.g., depression, anxiety).

I deeply care about humanity and helping individuals navigate the complexities of life to discover their truth, build resilience, and live in deeper alignment.
