How I work

My approach is Integrative-Relational which means I draw from a range of different therapies and adjust how i work around you and what you need, rather than trying to make you fit a mould that wasn't made uniquely for you.

Depending on what you bring, I might draw from attachment theory, polyvagal theory, or somatic resourcing, helping you understand what's happening in your body, not just your thoughts.

Many of us learned early on to dismiss feelings, body sensations and physical responses as things to be controlled or pushed down. But our bodies hold so much more than we give them credit for.

You might notice a tightness in your chest before a difficult conversation, a drop in energy when things get too intense, or reactions that feel bigger than the moment warrants. These aren't evidence you're broken, they're signals, learning to listen and understand them is often where the most meaningful change begins, reconnecting to yourself

For couples and relational work I'm trained in IMAGO Therapy and The Gottman Method, both of which I find profound in their ability to transform how two people hear and understand each other. Underpinning all of this is a person-centred commitment to you as a whole person worth of unconditional care, exactly as you are.

I don't expect you to show up with all the answers, or even knowing how to do therapy right. I'll meet you exactly where you are and we'll figure it out together, from there.
