About the Therapist

About the therapist:

I am interested in how society, culture and politics effects us as individuals. We often believe that there is a ‘right’ way to be, and a list of things that we need to tick off in order to be ‘successful’. In therapy, we can question the narrow ideas about what makes a ‘successful’ life and instead, we can explore what feels good for you.

I am interested in holistic health which doesn’t separate the mind from the body, and I will ask about sensations in the body during the sessions – understanding our bodily sensations can really help us to make sense of our thoughts and emotions, and vice versa!

Experience and approach:

I am an integrative therapist - which means that I will tailor my approach to your needs, rather than a 'one size fits all' approach.

My practice is trauma informed. 'Trauma' means different things to different people. If you’d like to discuss a traumatic experience, we can approach it gently. You might want to take breaks, you might be ready to talk about some aspects of your trauma and not others, that’s OK. There is never any pressure or rush to talk about something until you’re ready.

I have extensive experience working with people in suicidal crisis, having worked in suicide respite for many years. I have also worked in a hospice beareavement setting, as a bereavement therapist.
