My approach

My approach is relational and integrative. This means that I am interested in developing a therapeutic relationship with clients and leaning into a selection of approaches that offer meaning and tangible support, tailored to each person.

Whilst I am integrative, my approach is rooted in the humanistic strand of therapy, namely the core conditions of person-centred therapy. From this foundation, I draw upon a number of approaches, including psychodynamic theory, compassion-focused therapy, and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT).

Jargon aside, I offer myself as a non-judgemental, compassionate and kind witness to your experience. I believe that we all deserve to be seen, heard and understood - and it’s through that experience that we find a path through challenge.

My background

I have always been deeply passionate about mental health and finding meaning and understanding in life.

After university, I started out in PR and communications and soon turned my attention to the mental health field (and specifically the field of eating disorders) for 8 years.

During this time, I decided to pursue my dream of practicing psychotherapy, and went on to achieve a distinction in my Masters in Counselling & Psychotherapy.

Throughout my practice, I have worked within different therapeutic settings, including low-cost/accessible therapy services, university counselling services, and within private healthcare settings in a clinical and non-clinical capacity.

Prior to this (and many moons ago), I achieved a BA in Religion & Philosophy from the School of Oriental & African Studies (SOAS).

Why did I become a therapist?

Like many psychotherapists, I found this career through a profoundly helpful personal experience when I was a young adult. I am grateful to have had many equally powerful experiences since.

My career has taken different paths - having studied religion and spirituality, worked in marketing communications in healthcare, and finally to therapy - yet I see synchronicity between these chapters.

To me, each path stems from a deep, personal interest and curiosity in how we make meaning, build connections, communicate, and find value in life.
