About me and my therapy practice
I work with a range of clients from different backgrounds and with a variety of presentations. Most of my work is with adults experiencing stress, anxiety, depression, burnout, trauma, and identity and relational difficulties. These may show up as intra or interpersonal difficulties, shame, fear or anxieties around health, performance and confidence, self-esteem and worth, and within social and relational contexts. I provide an open, non-judgemental, validating and conversational space that encourages curiosity, learning and growth, intrinsically and relationally.I am an integrative and holistic practitioner, who appreciates that emotional and psychological difficulty can be quite nuanced. Being an Osteopath has allowed me to appreciate the mind and body relationship in my psychological work. Therefore, I consider biological, social, psycho-emotional and systemic factors when working with individuals.
Practice description
Despite my extensive training, I believe there is so much to learn about every client I work with. Therefore, I see our work together as a collaborative partnership that serves to optimise the way you think, feel, behave and relate with yourself and others.
