I’m a Person-Centred Therapist with a deep belief that the relationship is key to therapy, and that together we can build a space for healing to begin where you can feel safe, seen and truly heard.

At the heart of my practice is the belief that you are the expert on your own life. I don’t come with a fixed agenda, but instead offer a compassionate, non-judgmental space where we can explore whatever you’re carrying, at your own pace. Together, we’ll work towards understanding, connection and the changes that matter to you.

Alongside my role as a therapist, I am a primary school teacher and have volunteered as a counsellor with Childline, roles where I have consistently seen the power of empathy, trust and being truly listened to. These experiences still guide me today.

Personally, I’m a bit of a geek at heart; chilled, grounded and always up for exploring the rich inner worlds that make each of us unique. You don’t need to have the “right” words, just come as you are. I’ll walk alongside you from there.

Creative Approaches

I enjoy exploring creative and playful approaches to meet you where you are. I am trained in Sand Tray Therapy as an option to help express what can be hard to put into words. As a visual communicator, I enjoy a good metaphor or visual, something which may come naturally as a means of communication for you. I’m also currently researching the use of Dungeons & Dragons as a therapeutic approach as part of my Masters, exploring how imaginative storytelling can support healing and self-understanding. I happily offer these approaches as I am committed to being open and flexible to the many ways people explore their inner worlds, especially those who may not connect with traditional “talk therapy” alone.
