My approach

​

I work with a wide range of issues and clients, offering an accepting approach. I aim to help you deal with any difficult thoughts and feelings you may be going through. We can also explore any past problems and experiences that may have resurfaced for you, working through whatever it is that troubles you safely, securely and confidentially.

​

I work both short and long term, depending on what you aim to achieve, working with whatever emotional distress you may be going through, or whatever else you need to make sense of. Together, we can talk this through in an open, sensitive and private setting. I believe a respectful, safe and authentic relationship between client and therapist is key to therapeutic wellbeing and change.

My philosophy

​

I aim to explore and reflect on your life on your terms, in a way that means something to you. This is not simply cognitive, mental thinking. Instead my approach aims to look at how you feel in everyday life, what your relationships with other people are like and also how you feel about yourself. I aim to work with you, person to person, respecting who you are, so you feel truly listened to. My research dissertation was on the benefit of humour in therapy. While therapy can be no laughing matter, I believe sensitive, appropriate and playful humour can be hugely beneficial.
