MY APPROACH

At the heart of my work is a safe, authentic, empathic, and non-judgemental therapeutic relationship.

I believe healing happens through connection — when you feel genuinely seen, understood, and met as you are. From this place of safety, I support clients in developing a kinder, more accepting relationship with themselves while navigating life’s challenges.

We all move through periods of emotional pain, overwhelm, or loss of direction — moments where hope feels distant and it becomes harder to cope or trust ourselves. In these times, it’s easy to feel disconnected, out of control, or trapped in patterns that no longer serve us.

My role is to walk alongside you as we gently make sense of what’s happening and create space for change, if that is what you long for.

​

A central focus of my work is helping clients feel more in attuned with their inner world — their thoughts, beliefs, emotional responses, and relational patterns. Together, we develop awareness of how you experience yourself, how you make sense of the world around you, and how you respond when things feel difficult or threatening. This awareness becomes a foundation for choice, flexibility, and self-trust.

I believe there is no therapy without a meaningful therapeutic alliance. Our relationship becomes a place where new perspectives can be explored and new ways of being in contact with yourself can be co-created — with curiosity rather than judgement, and with respect for your pace and boundaries.

​

My approach is deeply compassion-focused. I support clients in gently cultivating care and understanding for themselves as a whole, recognising the complexity of being human. This includes making sense of the protective strategies and defences you may have developed — such as people-pleasing, perfectionism, or emotional shutting down — and learning how to relate to them with curiosity rather than criticism, so your vitality, authenticity, and expressiveness can gradually come back online.

​

I believe in active and collaborative therapy. Together, we explore and experiment with healthier ways of coping with both past and future distress, while also paying attention to the body, emotions, and lived experience — not just thoughts. I work integratively, drawing on different therapeutic models and embodied practices, and tailor each intervention to your unique needs, history, and strengths.​​
