My Therapeutic Approach
I offer a client-led evidence-based approach to therapy, grounded in warmth, respect, and curiosity.
I believe that healing begins in a space where you feel safe to be fully yourself – without judgment, pressure, or expectation. My role is to hold space: to be present with you in whatever you're experiencing, and to support you in exploring your inner world at your own pace.
I have over 20 years' experience working as a psychologist in a wide range of environments and mental health issues, I use a client-centered approach, tailoring the treatment to the needs and goals of the individual client.
