• About therapy

    Psychotherapy can help reducing anxiety and other emotional distress. Crucially, it can support you in understanding the root causes of your suffering. Challenges and difficult patches are inevitable in life and talking about these in a safe, non-judgemental space can be transformative. Therapy can also offer support during life transitions, and it can be an exciting space for self-exploration and growth. As a therapist, I offer a warm, confidential, and supportive space where you can talk about your feelings openly, at a pace that suits you.

  • My approach

    Integrative therapy

    I draw from different traditions of psychotherapy to tailor my support to each person. Attachment theory, psychodynamic psychotherapy, and humanistic approaches are all central to my practice. You can read more about different therapeutic approaches here.

    Trauma-informed

    I am aware of how trauma affects the body and, if you wish to explore traumatic experiences, I will use a range of techniques that can help us to do so safely. Trauma can be brought about by a single acute event but also by enduring experiences of oppression. My practice is informed by a multicultural sensitivity and is queer and trans affirmative.

    Relational therapy

    I believe that our inner world is shaped by the kind of relationships we have with those close to us, starting from the earliest caregiving relationships. I will pay attention to the kind of expectations, hopes, and fears that you bring into relationships. These expectations may sometimes show up in the relationship between us too, and exploring this may bring about much self-understanding.

  • Confidentiality

    I take confidentiality very seriously, and I will not share your information with any third party. The only exceptions to confidentiality are those applied to keep you and others safe, as well as professional supervision. These will be explained in our first meeting.

    I work according to GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) and the Data Protection Act; I am registered with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), and my privacy notice will be given to you alongside the contract.

    I will not contact you on any telephone number or at any address if explicitly asked not to. If we encounter each other outside of the sessions, I will respect your privacy and only acknowledge you if you do so first.
