In my therapeutic practice, I provide a safe and supportive environment for individuals to explore their difficulties in life, relationships and childhood, and to share and express confusing and overwhelming feelings. I will help clients navigate their struggles and bring unconscious patterns of behaviour and relational difficulties to light, enabling change and more self-awareness and connection with the world and relationships. I provide a safe place for clients to reflect on and express their deeper thoughts and feelings, which will help them to get to know themselves better, giving them a stronger sense of purpose, belonging and fulfilment enabling a richer and more meaningful life.

I am a relational therapist and believe that healing occurs in a collaborative relationship between the client and the psychotherapist, I will work together with you to discuss, understand and resolve anything that’s on your mind. Psychotherapy can be life-changing, whether you want to make sense of your past , your relationships or are at a crossroads in your life and want to explore new territories. I am passionate about understanding the intricacies of human existence and the factors that pose a threat to it. I prioritise my clients' well-being and personal growth and can deeply relate to life experiences. I aim to discover what brings them independence, joy, meaning, and purpose in life."

“ Essentially, the environment in which we grow defines who we are”

Without a doubt, our upbringing and surroundings profoundly impact the person we become. It is through our surroundings that we learn values, beliefs and behaviours that shape our identity. Our attachment patterns, shaped in childhood, can unconsciously influence how we behave and connect with others, and navigate the world around us.

“ Each time you set a healthy boundary, you say yes to more freedom”– Nancy Levin

I am curious about the boundaries we create for ourselves and towards others, do you notice that sometimes people ignore your requests or are just unaware of your needs? Do you have feelings of being let down? What would it be like to explore your fears or anxieties around boundaries, putting yourself first, saying no and trusting your feelings rather than pushing them aside? Together we can look at this and begin to understand these patterns and to feel more confident in advocating for yourself.
