About me and my therapy practice
I am a psychodynamic counsellor offering a thoughtful, compassionate space for individuals to explore their experiences at their own pace. My approach is grounded in the belief that our past relationships and life experiences shape how we feel, relate, and cope in the present. By working together, we can begin to understand these patterns more deeply and create the possibility for meaningful change.
Before training as a counsellor, I worked in healthcare, where I developed a strong appreciation for the emotional impact of life’s challenges and the importance of being truly heard. This experience continues to inform my practice, allowing me to bring sensitivity, patience, and a holistic understanding to my work with clients.
As a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (ÌÇÐĹÙÍø) I adhere to its ethical framework, ensuring that my work is safe, professional, and in line with recognised standards.
I have a particular interest in supporting those who have experienced coercive control and domestic abuse. I understand that leaving an abusive relationship is not a single event, but a complex and often painful process that can take time, courage, and support. Recovery is rarely linear, and I aim to provide a safe, non-judgmental environment where you can begin to process what you have been through, rebuild a sense of self, and move forward at your own pace.
I work with respect for each person’s individuality, recognising that every story is unique. Whether you are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply seeking a deeper understanding of yourself, I offer a confidential space where your thoughts and feelings can be explored openly.
