I hold a Master's degree in Integrative Psychotherapy & Counselling and work with adults of all ages. Being an integrative therapist means I am not limited to one way of working. I can draw from a range of approaches depending on what you need. These include therapeutic modalities that focus on relationships, emotions, behaviour, life meaning and the impact of past experiences, as well as tools that support practical coping and emotional regulation. I also stay informed by current research in areas such as neurobiology, attachment and trauma, which helps us make sense of your experiences in a grounded and compassionate way.

I draw particularly on psychodynamic thinking. The relationships and experiences we had growing up often shape how we see ourselves, how we relate to others and what we believe is possible for us as adults. Understanding these patterns can be hugely helpful, but it does not mean being defined or limited by them. Together we explore how your past shows up in your present, while also focusing on the choices, freedoms and agency available to you now, supporting the changes you want to make in your life as you move forward.

I also work with an understanding that behaviours often serve a purpose we might not immediately recognise. What appears as anxiety, addiction, or self-destructive patterns may actually be ways of managing neurodivergent experiences, seeking dopamine, regulating an overwhelmed nervous system or coping with feeling fundamentally different. Rather than pathologising these responses, we explore what they might be telling us about how you process the world and what you genuinely need. This includes understanding how masking, overcompensation and cycles of hyper-focus and burnout may have developed as survival strategies and how to find more sustainable ways forward.
