About me and my therapy practice
I strongly believe that talking about how we feel, and our experiences, can lessen our distress and build our resilience. Through talking with someone we trust, we can help bring sense to our difficult feelings, thoughts and experiences. Without talking, our pain can grow even bigger. If you are struggling to cope right now, that is okay.
I am first and foremost a non-judgemental and empathetic listener. Whatever you bring in the therapy room is completely up to you, and we work at your own pace. I am not here to bring you advice, as I believe you are the expert of your own life.
As a philosophy graduate, and qualified therapist, I am curious about how you feel and the circumstances that have played a part. I am passionate about growth and healing. I am on my own healing journey and had many years of my own personal therapy. I am an integrative therapist, using trauma training, psychodynamic, transactional analysis and psycho education as part of our work.
I am also a neurodivergent therapist. I am very aware that we all have different brains, that we all have different ways of learning and communicating, I always try to suit my language to yours.
I am also passionate about feminist issues, I currently volunteer at a women’s centre working with different issues. Some of the themes I have worked with are: bereavement, divorce / separation, family relationships, neurodiversity, difficult childhood experiences and trauma, low self-worth, anxiety and depression.
