Counselling & psychotherapy

Therapy that feels like being met, not analysed

My work is trauma-informed, integrative and deeply human. We'll shape the work around what you actually need — using words, the body, and the relationship between us.

My principles

Four quiet commitments I bring to every session

01

Safety first

We move at your pace. Nothing is rushed, and you stay in the driver's seat of your story.

02

Whole person

Thoughts, feelings, body, relationships, meaning — all welcome in the room.

03

Relationship as medicine

Real change tends to happen inside a trustworthy, attuned therapeutic relationship.

04

Mind and body together

Trauma and stress live in the body too. We work with both, gently and skilfully.

Therapies offered

A flexible, integrative toolkit

I draw on several modalities, weaving them together in a way that fits you — never one-size-fits-all.

Humanistic therapy

An approach that honours your wholeness — your thoughts, feelings, body and sense of meaning — trusting you as the expert in your own life.

Integrative counselling

Drawing on a range of evidence-based models so the work can be shaped around what you actually need, not a single fixed method.

Relational therapy

The therapeutic relationship itself becomes a place of safety, repair and growth — somewhere old patterns can soften.

Somatic therapy

Gentle body-based practices — grounding, breath awareness, noticing sensation — that help regulate the nervous system alongside talking.

The body remembers

Our bodies often hold the impact of trauma, stress and loss in ways that words alone cannot fully reach — tension, anxiety, exhaustion, shallow breathing, feeling constantly on edge. Therapy can help mind and body work together again.
