My Therapeutic Approach:


My approach is integrative and trauma‑informed, shaped around your unique needs and the pace that feels right for you. I work relationally, meaning our therapeutic relationship becomes a safe, steady base from which we explore your experiences, emotions, and patterns together.

Sessions are collaborative and grounded in compassion. We pay attention to what’s happening in the present moment, how past experiences may be influencing your life now, and how your mind and body respond to stress, overwhelm, or emotional pain. Nothing is rushed or forced — we move gently.

I draw from several evidence‑based approaches to support this process, including:

  • Person‑Centred Counselling — offering a warm, non‑judgmental space where you set the pace.
  • Psychodynamic Therapy — exploring deeper patterns, early experiences, and relational dynamics.
  • Emotion‑Focused & Experiential Work — helping you understand, express, and regulate your emotional world.
  • DBT‑Informed Skills — grounding, distress tolerance, and mindfulness tools to support emotional regulation.
  • Solution‑Focused Approaches — identifying strengths, clarity, and meaningful next steps.
  • Mindfulness & 12‑Step Integration — supporting long‑term recovery, presence, and self‑connection.

Together, we create a space where insight, healing, and reconnection can unfold safely.

Alongside my professional training and NHS experience, my own journey through trauma, addiction and recovery informs the way I work. It allows me to meet you with empathy, authenticity and a grounded understanding of how complex healing can be. This lived experience doesn’t replace my clinical training — it deepens it, helping me offer a steady, compassionate space where you can move at your own pace.
