HOW I WORK
‘Therapy that is active, collaborative and focused on change’
Many women arrive in therapy feeling disheartened and frustrated by the gap between insight and change.They can see their patterns clearly, understand where they come from and can describe the ways they show up in their lives. Yet despite this awareness they continue to find themselves pulled into familiar ways of thinking, feeling, relating and being.
Therapy with me offers a space to slow down and listen differently to what is happening inside you, so that new ways can emerge. Together we explore what keeps these patterns in place-not to judge them or force them away but to understand the emotional patterns, protective responses and inner conflicts that shape your experience.
Over time this can support;
-a deeper self understanding
-more choice in how you respond
-a stronger sense of self trust
and change that feels more lasting and grounded.

MY APPROACH
My work is grounded in Person Centred Psychotherapy, which means I place the therapeutic relationship at the centre of our work together. I believe that lasting change happens through being deeply heard, understood and accepted without judgement.
At the heart of my approach is a commitment to listening deeply-not only to the stories you tell me about yourself but also to the emotions, beliefs and inner experiences that may be influencing your life beneath the surface.
Alongside this therapeutic foundation, I work in a pluralistic way drawing from different approaches to support your process. Rather than applying a fixed method I work collaboratively with you to understand what is happening in your unique experience and together we find what supports meaningful and lasting change for you. The therapeutic modalities I draw from include;
-Parts informed approaches
-Compassion focused therapy
-Mindfulness based techniques
-Gestalt informed practices
-Inner child work
-Attachment and Developmental theories
-Cognitive and behavioural strategies
-Solution focused ideas
-Neuroscience
-Coaching Strategies
-Somatic Healing Techniques
-Positive Psychology
