Experience
3+ years in Integrative Therapist
I am a qualified Integrative Counsellor and Psychotherapist with a BSc (Hons) Degree in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy. I provide a warm, compassionate, and non-judgemental space where clients can explore their thoughts, emotions, and experiences at their own pace.

My approach is primarily person-centred while integrating a range of evidence-based therapeutic approaches to meet the unique needs of each individual. I believe therapy is most effective when it is collaborative, respectful, and tailored to the person sitting in front of me, rather than following a one-size-fits-all approach.
Approach My approach to therapy is grounded in creating a safe, compassionate, and non-judgemental space where you feel heard, understood, and accepted. I work collaboratively with each client, recognising that everyone’s experiences and needs are unique.

I work from a person-centred foundation, integrating different therapeutic approaches to support each individual. I have a particular interest in how early experiences, relationships, attachment, and trauma can shape how we understand ourselves and navigate life. Together, we can explore patterns, build self-awareness, and develop greater self-compassion and resilience.

My aim is to support you in understanding yourself more deeply, recognising your strengths, and creating meaningful positive change at your own pace.
