A reflective space to make sense of your world

Our lives are shaped by many interconnected parts: our early years, past and present relationships, work, families and the responsibilities we carry. Sometimes we can see how these experiences affect us today. At other times, their influence may sit outside our conscious awareness, yet still quietly shape how we think, feel and respond.

Making sense of it all can take time. And even with people who care about us, it can be hard to say what we really feel. I offer a space where you can feel heard, without judgement or an agenda for what you should do next. There’s room to slow down, say what’s on your mind and explore what matters to you.

What might bring you here?

I work with adults experiencing:

  • Anxiety

  • Low mood or depression

  • Loss, grief and bereavement

  • Stress, overwhelm or burnout

  • Relationship difficulties

  • Parenthood or motherhood

  • Coping with change or life transitions

  • Work-related challenges

You may recognise your own experience in some of the above, or simply feel that something isn’t right without yet having the words to explain it. Either way, you’re welcome to get in touch. We can begin wherever you are.

Everyone is welcome

Although my executive coaching background is rooted in the corporate world, you don’t need to come from that background to work with me in therapy. I’ve supported adults from all walks of life, and I’m interested in getting to know you as a person, beyond any role or job title. I’m curious about what you’re struggling with, what matters to you and how we might work together.

If you feel I could support you, let’s have a chat so you can get a sense of working with me, with no pressure to commit.

An approach shaped around you

If we both feel we’d be a good fit, we can begin to make sense of what’s troubling you together.

As a qualified integrative psychotherapist, I draw on different therapeutic approaches (including person-centred, psychodynamic and contemporary CBT approaches) to shape our work around your needs. You may want to explore painful experiences and begin to heal, or get to know yourself more honestly and fully, gaining clarity on what matters most and how you want to show up in the world. Perhaps you’re finding your way through a significant life change.

Whatever brings you here, we’ll find an approach and pace that feel right for you.

 

Taking the first step

Step One: An introductory chat
We can begin with a 15-minute chat, at no cost, to explore what brings you here, answer your questions and see whether it feels like a good fit. There’s no pressure to commit, during the call or afterwards. Take your time to reflect, and get back in touch if you’d like to book an initial session.

If I feel I’m not the right therapist for you, we can discuss other sources of support.

Step Two: Our first session
If we both feel comfortable moving forward, we’ll book an initial session at a discounted rate. This gives you a chance to experience working with me before deciding whether to continue.

Step Three: Working together
If you’d like to continue, we’ll agree to meet weekly for an initial six weeks. We’ll then review how you’re finding the sessions and whether it is helping bring about the changes you hoped for. Together, we’ll agree what to focus on, how long we might continue and any adjustments to our approach. We’ll revisit this regularly to make sure the work continues to meet your needs.

Let’s have a chat…

I’d love to hear from you, and I really do understand how daunting that first step can sometimes feel. Whenever the time feels right for you, I’m here to talk.

You’re welcome to get in touch in whichever way feels most comfortable - by email, text or the form below. I reply outside my client sessions and aim to get back to you within 24 hours whenever possible.
