Philosophy & Vision
I value working with the whole individual and their many complex facets. I view therapy as a collaborative and creative process in which I can support you to dig beneath the surface and find new understandings of your difficulties.
I have particular interest in working with people who may feel like outsiders in some way, and I value providing a judgement-free space that feels safe for you to speak as freely as possible. Nothing is irrelevant or unwelcome.
Background
I have experience working in the education sector and in the not-for-profit sector supporting people experiencing complex mental health issues and psychosocial needs.
Services
I am a psychotherapist and counsellor working with adults of all ages in private practice.
Quality Provision
I receive regular supervision and continue to engage in self-directed learning and professional development trainings.
My personal experience undergoing Lacanian psychoanalysis has been instrumental, and continues to be an important part of my practice as a therapist.

Therapy Approach
I use a person-centred approach which is non-directive and empathic. What you say is important, and I will follow your lead. I'm interested in your subjective meanings to particular words and experiences and your own unique perspective on the world.
I am influenced by and draw upon psychoanalysis in my work, through the careful listening to understand an individuals inner life, we can begin to make connections and find new understandings of your challenges.
