The process

At the heart of what I offer is a space that feels safe, warm, and truly welcoming. A place where you can bring all the parts of yourself - whether you're carrying loneliness, fear, or uncertainty, you don’t have to hold it alone. We’ll work on building a therapeutic relationship, holding and non-judgemental, and from there, we can gently begin to explore the patterns, beliefs, and past experiences that may be holding you back, and start to give voice to the things that have remained unspoken.

A central part of my work is supporting your relationship with yourself. This often naturally connects to how you relate to others, your sense of identity, and the ways you've learned to attach and protect. My practice is shaped by psychodynamic principles, a client centred ethos, and parts work, always with curiosity and care.

What is Integrative Psychotherapy?

Integrative Psychotherapy is a modality that allows the psychotherapist to draw from multiple different modalities to create their own unique way of working, and tailoring it to the client. It acknowledges that no one approach works best for everyone, and emphasises that at the heart of every process, building a strong therapeutic relationships is the foundation.

It is also about integrating each part of you, getting to know the parts of you that have perhaps remained silent or hidden for a long time, and finding facets to yourself that perhaps you never thought you had. It’s increasing that sense of knowing, knowing yourself, your deepest hopes, fears and desires, and allowing all emotions, thoughts and feelings to come together, even the ones we maybe previously felt were unacceptable or judged.

About me

As well as being a qualified integrative psychotherapist, I have a BSc in Psychology, currently work within the adolescent mental health sector, and have volunteered across many different organisations such as BEAT, The Kids Network, Resources for Autism and The Psychosynthesis Trust, a low-cost therapy organisation.

I practice an anti-pathologising, trauma-informed approach, which is a way of working that avoids labelling reactions or behaviours as inherently ‘wrong’, ‘disordered’ or pathological. Instead, we view reactions as normal responses to abnormal situations. Rather than asking ‘what’s wrong with me?’ we move towards asking ‘what happened to me?’. Compassion and care is the foundation of the work I do.
