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 Young Adults
I primarily work with people navigating the many different experiences and challenges that can come with early adulthood. You might know exactly what has brought you to therapy, or you may simply have a sense that something doesn’t feel quite right and want the space to explore it.
This could be anxiety or low mood, difficulties in your relationships, questions around your sense of self, feeling overwhelmed by change or simply being unsure about where you’re heading. Whatever is going on for you, we can begin with where you are and, together, explore what feels most important to you along the way.
I welcome people from a wide range of backgrounds, cultures and identities. Having grown up across several countries and cultures myself has given me a genuine appreciation for the many different ways we experience and make sense of the world. It’s something that has shaped the way I meet people in therapy, with curiosity about who you are, where you’ve come from and what matters to you. My practice is inclusive and neurodiversity-affirming.
During Sessions
What Can I Expect From Therapy?
Our first session is an opportunity for us to get to know one another. We’ll talk about what has brought you to therapy, what has been feeling difficult and what you hope might feel different. There’s no pressure to know exactly where to begin; we can start with whatever feels most important to you and take things from there.
As our sessions unfold, we’ll explore what’s going on for you. At times I’ll ask questions, offer a different perspective or share something that I’ve noticed, while at other times you may simply need the space to talk and see where the conversation takes us.
Therapy is something we shape together, so I’ll check in with you along the way about how you’re finding our work. I really welcome your questions and thoughts on the moments when something doesn’t quite feel right. Those conversations are a really important part of therapy and help us understand what feels most helpful for you.
My Approach
Integrative, relational and tailored to you
Being an integrative therapist means I don’t work from one single way of understanding people. Instead, I draw on different therapeutic perspectives to help us make sense of your experiences in a way that feels relevant to you.
Part of our work might involve looking back and exploring how earlier experiences and relationships have shaped the way you see yourself, relate to others or respond to things today. At other times, our work may be more focused on the present, helping you notice patterns as they happen and finding practical ways to respond differently when something feels difficult.
I don’t believe one perspective can tell us everything about a person. Part of what I value about working integratively is being able to hold different ways of understanding what you’re experiencing, while always keeping you at the centre of our work.
And because therapy is a relationship, how we work together matters too. I’ll bring my thoughts, reflections and perspective when I think they might be helpful, while leaving room for us to be curious together about what 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.
