About
My journey in therapy began at a young age, as I have always been fascinated by the mechanics of the mind, psychology and human behaviour and I wanted to help people in a more in depth way. Since then, I have enjoyed helping a wide range of people from all walks of life get to a better psychological and emotional pIace, with most of my experience being from my work with adolescents and young adults (12-30). I feel very grateful to have met, and continue to meet, such amazing people who let me into their lives.
​​
I believe, and practice from, a holistic, humanistic approach. This means I work with the whole of you, not just the symptoms or labels, although I recognise the importance of these for some people.
I believe it is important to recognise that everyone's experiences are unique and valid, and that there is no one-size-fits-all definition of what is "normal" when it comes to mental health. I am not the expert of you: you are. As we are all unique people, therapy is also not a one-size-fits-all relationship and drawing on a range of techniques helps me tailor the best approach to help you move forward. However, I believe, and research shows, the therapeutic relationship is the most healing factor within therapy. Our work together will focus on building a safe, trusted, professional relationship. It is a place where you can be seen, heard and validated. A place where you can be completely yourself without any judgement.
