Therapy with me is collaborative and responsive, shaped by what you bring and what feels most present in the moment. Rather than following a set agenda, the work develops through careful attention to your experience, allowing understanding to emerge over time.
​
​Some sessions involve talking and being listened to closely, with space to slow things down and make sense of your experience. At other times, the work may be more reflective or experiential — noticing thoughts, feelings, bodily responses, or different aspects of yourself as they emerge. We pay attention to what is happening, rather than trying to direct or force change.
​
My approach is humanistic and grounded in the belief that understanding develops through relationship, reflection, and time. I’m interested in how difficulties are shaped by past experience, relationships, and the wider contexts in which people live, and how these influences can show up emotionally, physically, and relationally in the present.
​
I’m particularly attentive to experiences that can feel uncomfortable or difficult to bring into words — such as self-criticism, doubt, conflicting feelings, or emotions that have been pushed aside. Creating space to explore these gently can help soften their hold and support greater self-understanding over time.
​
We work at a pace that feels manageable for you. There is no expectation to talk about anything before you’re ready, and no pressure to arrive with clear answers or goals. Therapy doesn’t require certainty — uncertainty, ambivalence, and not knowing are all welcome here.
​
Over time, this way of working can support reflection, insight, and meaningful change, allowing new ways of relating to yourself and others to emerge naturally rather than being imposed.
