My Practice
I believe that the quality of the therapeutic relationship is a central factor in supporting meaningful change and exploration in therapy. I offer a grounding, non-judgemental and consistent space where we explore parts of you and your life experiences that may be too painful or difficult to share elsewhere. Together, we explore and make sense of your feelings and life experiences to open up new possibilities.
I work with people from many walks of life struggling with a wide range of difficulties including but not limited to: depression, anxiety, abuse (physical, emotional, sexual, financial, stalking, neglect), trauma, complex trauma, family difficulties, addiction, eating disorders, body image, self worth, relationship issues, bipolar and personality disorders.
I have particular experience supporting adults struggling with:
The impact of abuse, neglect or confusing/unpredictable relationships during childhood or adolescence (including witnessing the abuse of others)
Having parents or family members struggling with addiction or mental health issues
Eating disorders, body image and self worth
Addiction
Complex Trauma
A diagnosis of Borderline Personality Disorder
I am trained in psychoanalytic, person-centred and existential therapies, with a particular emphasis on existential-phenomenological therapy. My practice aims to alleviate suffering by looking at it safely, rather than turning away, at a pace that feels right for you.
My way of working is also grounded in a trauma-informed approach to mental health. I have a deep understanding of the impact of various kinds of traumatic experiences and this informs my work with clients.
I am also LGBTQIA+ and sex work affirming, and adapt my way of working for neurodivergent individuals when necessary.
