About me and my therapy practice
Taking the first step toward therapy can feel daunting, and you might be wondering if you’ll be able to make sense of what’s going on in your life. My journey into the therapeutic field was born from a deep passion for helping others navigate life’s challenges and find the support they need to heal and grow. I know from personal experience that life can sometimes feel overwhelming, and in those moments, having a compassionate and professional guide can make all the difference.
In my practice, I strive to create an environment where you feel truly heard, understood, and supported as we explore your thoughts, feelings, and challenges. Together, we’ll work at a pace that’s comfortable for you, helping you develop greater resilience, emotional balance, and a deeper sense of self-empowerment.
Practice description
My practice is built on the belief that everyone deserves a safe, supportive space to explore their inner world and work through life’s challenges. As an integrative therapist, I draw from a range of therapeutic approaches, tailoring each session to your unique needs and goals. I offer a warm, non-judgemental environment where you can feel heard, respected, and valued. Whether you're facing anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or simply feeling overwhelmed by life, together we’ll work at a pace that feels comfortable for you. We will regularly review our sessions to ensure that we are making progress and that your needs are being met. My aim is to empower you to develop the tools and insights you need to navigate life’s ups and downs with confidence and clarity.My first session
When you first get in touch, the process begins with a brief conversation to discuss your needs and answer any initial questions you might have. After that, we’ll arrange a time for our first session. During this session, we’ll take time to get to know each other, discuss what brings you to therapy, and explore your goals moving forward. I’ll ask questions about your current concerns and any relevant history, and we’ll begin to understand how we can best work together. This is also your opportunity to ask about the therapeutic process, my approach, and what to expect in the sessions ahead. Ultimately, the first session is about establishing a trusting, collaborative relationship, ensuring we’re a good fit, and setting the foundation for our work together.What I can help with
AIDS/HIV, Anger management, Anxiety, Bereavement, Cancer, Child related issues, Chronic fatigue syndrome / ME, Depression, Disability, Health related issues, Identity issues, Infertility, Loss, Menopause, Mood disorder, Post-traumatic stress, Pregnancy related issues, Redundancy, Relationships, Self esteem, Sensory impairment, Sex-related issues, Sexual identity, Sexuality, Spirituality, Stress, Women's issues, Work related issues
