About therapy

Therapists work in different ways, and the information below offers an overview of my approach. This can help you decide whether it feels right for what you need.

I work relationally, with an emphasis on the therapeutic relationship alongside your relationships and experiences with others, both past and present.

I draw from a range of therapeutic modalities, including person-centred, psychodynamic, existential, and cognitive-behavioural approaches. This allows us to develop a way of working that is responsive to your needs, and I prefer to think about this collaboratively, agreeing together how best to understand your experiences.

I also work creatively where it feels helpful. This may include using metaphor, exploring thoughts through images or photographs, or expressing feelings through writing, drawing, or objects. Any creative methods are guided by your preferences and always open to discussion.

I am committed to anti-oppressive and trauma-informed practice. I pay attention to the intersections of identity and to how distress is shaped by social and relational contexts. Informed consent and client autonomy are central to my ethical practice - you can read more about my approach to this in the FAQs.
