Who I work with

My work is primarily with adolescents and young adults, typically between the ages of 15 and 30. I am particularly drawn to this stage of life, its emotional intensity, and the unique challenges it brings.

Adolescence and young adulthood can be periods of significant change, uncertainty and emotional development. I support young people navigating challenges such as anxiety, low mood, emotional regulation, identity, self-esteem, relationships, and school or university pressures, as well as those exploring what it means to think and experience the world differently, including those with ADHD or autism.

Having grown up across several continents and cultures, I bring a genuine appreciation for difference and diversity in all forms. My practice is an open and inclusive space where people from all backgrounds feel welcome, respected and understood.

During sessions

In our first session, we will talk about what has brought you to therapy, the challenges you may be facing, and what you are hoping to gain from the process. We may begin by exploring some of your past and present experiences to develop a clearer sense of what is going on for you and how therapy might support you.

As our work continues, we will have regular check-ins to ensure the therapy feels helpful and aligned with your needs. You are always welcome to share any questions, concerns or reflections, as this helps us shape the work in a way that feels most supportive for you.

My role is to support you in making sense of your experiences, gaining deeper insight into yourself and moving towards a more meaningful and fulfilling life.

My approach

As an integrative psychotherapist, I draw on evidence-based approaches to shape therapy around you, your experiences and your needs, depending on what feels most helpful for where you are now. Rather than working from a single theoretical model, I weave together different frameworks to build a fuller, more nuanced understanding of the patterns that may be showing up in your thoughts, feelings and relationships.

My work is fundamentally relational. I believe that the quality of the therapeutic relationship is at the heart of meaningful work, and I bring genuine warmth and curiosity to every session, meeting you where you are and at a pace that feels right for you.

Alongside compassion, I work with clarity and honesty, gently supporting you to see yourself and your experiences more clearly, and to move towards a more meaningful and fulfilling life.

Below, you can learn more about the main therapeutic approaches I use:

  • 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.
