Working with me

Therapy is a conversation and a collaboration.

Therapy is not about ‘fixing’ you - you are not broken. But you might feel broken, or lost. You may be experiencing grief or major change. You may be at a crossroads in your life. You may be searching for something different in your one wild and precious life. You may feel unworthy of love, support and care.

Through becoming more aware of patterns or coping mechanisms that no longer serve - and facing what is underneath - we can move into agency and choice.

I often work with people who are facing major change - either voluntary or inflicted - in their life.

Our work will support your ability to gain insight into yourself.  My invitation is to explore further, go deeper and in doing so, increase your awareness of yourself and your patterns. We will walk together into the unknown.

Living fully as a human is wonderful and hard. Therapy can be challenging, it may take work.

There is also room for joy, celebration and humour - yes humour! - in the therapy room.

The pace is yours to set and there is no ‘right way’.

I believe that everyone has the capacity to change, with willingness, courage, faith and support.

My goal is to create the space that you need, in order to create the change you want.

A Creative Approach

I believe deeply in the power of creativity.

Before becoming a therapist, I worked in the Creative Industries for nearly 20 years. So I may bring a creativity and playfulness to the therapy room that supports the deep work that can happen.  I work predominantly with talking therapy, but also bring in creative expression, playful experiments or body-focussed work to support your process.  I have eco-therapy and movement practices that support my work. Through these techniques you might find different ways of being in the world.

This work is intentional and powerful - sometimes profound wisdom is found by coming out of words and into a different knowing.

Drawing on our natural creativity can support the deep work that can happen in therapy.

There is no one size fits all solution. Therapy is a collaboration and we will work together to explore you and your experiences, in a way that feels right to you.

I will meet you with sincerity, respect and grace in our sessions together.

I have experience working with

My primary goal is to work with you to discover how you can live your most abundant and satisfying life.

That being said, sometimes there are specific things that bring us into therapy. These might include:

  • Major change

  • Anxiety and over‑thinking

  • Bereavement, grief and loss

  • Shame, loneliness and stuckness

  • Addiction

  • Sex, love and intimacy

  • Burnout and over‑working

  • Making yourself so small you can’t find yourself

  • Creative practice

  • Relationship difficulties

There are many reasons for wanting to talk - if there is something not on the list, get in touch as we can talk.
