Basic Information

Services


I am quite open and easy to talk to, and I think I do well with people who are nervous about coming to therapy, who find it hard to open up or who have unusual issues that cause them shame. I prefer to work in a flexible, client-centred and integrative manner, drawing from different approaches, depending on your needs and preferences. I aim to create a space where you can feel safe, understood and listened to. Therapy begins by learning who and how you are, so that collaboratively we can shape ways in which you can grow, heal and change. Get in touch if you have any questions or would like to organise an introductory session.
