The pillars of
my practice

My Approach
The Relationship
Person-Centred

You’re the expert on your own experience. I’m here to follow your lead and meet you without judgement. The therapeutic relationship itself is at the heart of everything.

The Patterns
Transactional Analysis

A way of understanding the roles and habits we learn early in life — scripts, ego states and patterns that once served us but may now be holding us back. Once we can see them, they can begin to change.

The Body
Somatic Awareness

What we feel isn’t only in the mind. The body holds tension, memory and emotion in ways that talk alone can’t always reach. This is about noticing what the body holds, too.

The Foundation
Trauma-Informed

Knowing that what happened to you matters, and working in a way that puts your sense of safety first. We go at your pace, always. Nothing is pushed or forced.

What to Expect

The first conversation

We begin with a free 20-minute consultation — a chance to talk briefly about what’s brought you to therapy, to ask any questions, and to see whether working together feels like the right fit. There’s no obligation and no pressure.

If we decide to go ahead, we’ll arrange an initial session to explore things more fully. Early sessions are about understanding your story and beginning to work out what you need from therapy.

Ongoing Sessions

At a pace that’s right for you

Sessions are 50 minutes and typically take place weekly, though we can discuss a rhythm that suits you. I offer both short-term focused work — often 8 to 12 sessions — and longer-term open-ended therapy.

I work online via a secure, GDPR-compliant video platform, and in-person for those who prefer it. Both are equally valid ways to do meaningful work.

Throughout, I’ll check in with you about how therapy is feeling. What’s useful, what’s not, what you need more of. It’s a collaboration, and it shifts as you do.

Confidentiality

Everything you share in sessions is confidential. The only exceptions are if I have serious concerns about your safety or the safety of someone else — in which case I would always try to discuss this with you first.

I hold regular supervision and adhere to the BACP Ethical Framework.

Ending Therapy

Endings in therapy matter as much as beginnings. When the time comes to finish, we plan it together. There’s no sudden stop — we take time to reflect on the work done and prepare for what comes next.

The door is always open to return if you need to.
