Therapy Tailored to You
A thoughtful, collaborative space to explore your experiences, better understand yourself and move towards meaningful change.
Who I Work With
Therapy for Adolescents & Young Adults
I primarily work with adolescents and young adults as they navigate one of life's most significant periods of growth and change. These years often bring questions around identity, relationships, belonging and finding your place in the world. While they can also bring uncertainty and challenge, they are equally a time of resilience, possibility and self-discovery.
You may be feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, struggling with low mood, finding relationships difficult, or questioning your sense of self. Therapy offers a space to slow down, make sense of your experiences, understand the patterns beneath the surface, and create meaningful, lasting change.
Having grown up across several countries and cultures has given me a deep appreciation for the many different ways people experience and navigate life. I believe this helps me connect with each client through openness, curiosity and cultural sensitivity. My practice is an inclusive, neurodiversity-affirming space where people from all backgrounds are welcome.
During Sessions
What Can I Expect From Therapy?
Our first session is an opportunity for us to get to know one another. We'll explore what has brought you to therapy, what's been feeling difficult, and what you hope might be different. We'll start wherever feels right for you and move at a pace that feels comfortable.
As we begin to explore your experiences, we'll consider both your past and present, making sense of how they have shaped the way you think, feel and relate to others. Together, we'll begin to recognise the patterns that may be keeping you stuck and explore new ways of moving forward.
Therapy is a collaborative process, so we'll regularly review to make sure our work continues to feel helpful and aligned with your needs. Please never hesitate to ask questions or share any thoughts, concerns or reflections. These conversations help us shape therapy in a way that feels right for you.
My Approach
Therapy Isn't One-Size-Fits-All
As an integrative psychotherapist, I draw on a range of evidence-based approaches to tailor therapy to you, your experiences and your individual needs.
Rather than relying on a single therapeutic approach, I integrate different models to align with your experiences, helping us make sense of the patterns that may be be shaping your thoughts, emotions, relationships and sense of self. This allows therapy to be flexible, responsive and centred around what feels most helpful for you.
At the heart of my work is the therapeutic relationship. I believe meaningful change happens when people feel genuinely seen, understood and accepted. I'll always meet you with my genuine warmth, curiosity and compassion, creating a space where you can explore your experiences as we work together at a pace that feels right for you.
Therapeutic Approaches
The Approaches I Draw From
-
Person-centred therapy offers a warm, non-judgemental space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings and experiences at your own pace. Rooted in empathy, acceptance and authenticity, this approach is based on the belief that each person has an inherent capacity for growth, healing and self-understanding.
Central to this approach is the therapeutic relationship itself. I aim to offer a genuine, supportive and compassionate presence, where you can feel truly heard and understood, without pressure or judgement. Within this space, you are encouraged to explore your experiences in a way that feels right for you.
Over time, this process can support a deeper sense of self-awareness, helping you to reconnect with your inner strengths and develop greater self-acceptance. Person-centred therapy gently supports personal growth and a more authentic connection to yourself and your life.
-
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on the relationship between our thoughts, feelings and behaviours, and how these patterns can shape our emotional wellbeing. By becoming more aware of unhelpful or self-critical ways of thinking, we can begin to gently question and shift them over time.
Alongside traditional CBT approaches, my work is also informed by more contemporary models, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Compassion-Focused Therapy, and Cognitive Analytic Therapy. These approaches place a greater emphasis on mindfulness, acceptance, compassion and understanding relational patterns, allowing the work to feel more flexible and responsive.
By integrating these approaches, I tailor the work to your individual needs, supporting you in developing greater self-awareness, self-compassion, and more supportive ways of relating to yourself and others.
-
Psychodynamic therapy focuses on developing an understanding of the unconscious patterns that can shape how we experience ourselves and relate to others. These patterns are often rooted in early relationships and childhood experiences, where they may have developed as ways of protecting us or helping us make sense of the world at the time.
In therapy, we may begin to notice how some of these patterns continue to influence your present experiences, even when they no longer feel helpful or relevant. Through exploring both past and current experiences, including early attachment relationships, we can develop a deeper understanding of how these patterns show up in your thoughts, feelings and relationships today.
The therapeutic relationship is an important part of this work, offering a space for reflection, curiosity and growing self-awareness. Over time, psychodynamic therapy can support the possibility of new ways of relating to yourself and others, helping to create a greater sense of clarity, flexibility and emotional freedom.
-
Existential therapy invites an exploration of life’s deeper questions, including meaning, freedom, choice, responsibility and mortality. It offers a reflective space to consider what matters most to you, and how your values, beliefs and lived experiences shape the way you relate to yourself and the world around you.
This approach can be particularly helpful during times of uncertainty, anxiety or transition, when questions around identity, purpose or direction may feel more present. Through gently exploring these themes within a supportive therapeutic relationship, existential therapy encourages a greater awareness of personal choice and responsibility, while also recognising the complexities and challenges of being human.
At its heart, existential therapy supports you in living more authentically, helping you to align your choices with your values and develop a deeper sense of meaning, clarity and personal agency.
