My work is grounded in Person-Centred Experiential Therapy (PCET), which places your emotions, experiences, and sense of self at the centre of the process. PCET creates a warm, non-judgemental space where you can feel deeply heard and supported as you explore what’s going on beneath the surface.
While PCET forms the foundation of my practice, I take an integrative approach, drawing from a range of evidence-based models to meet your unique needs and goals. These include:
This integrative way of working means your therapy is always tailored to you, offering structure when helpful, space when needed, and a collaborative relationship throughout.
The terms counselling and psychotherapy are often used interchangeably, but they can represent different depths and focuses of support.
Counselling typically focuses on short-term or immediate challenges such as managing anxiety, coping with a life transition, or navigating relationship issues. It’s goal-oriented and supportive, helping you process what’s happening now and develop tools to move forward.
Psychotherapy tends to be longer-term and more exploratory. It’s well-suited to those wanting to understand deeper emotional patterns, explore past experiences, or make sense of long-standing internal struggles. This work often leads to meaningful insight and lasting transformation.
In practice, I integrate both counselling and psychotherapy approaches. Our work might begin with focused support around a specific issue and, over time, gently deepen into a more reflective and exploratory process, depending on what feels right for you.
Whatever shape our sessions take, my goal is to offer a safe, collaborative, and compassionate space where you feel seen, supported, and empowered.
Parenting can be incredibly rewarding but it can also feel overwhelming, especially when you're facing tricky behaviours, family tensions, or the emotional load of supporting your child through big feelings. My parent consultancy services offer a supportive, non-judgemental space to explore what’s going on and discover what will truly help.
Whether you’re looking for advice on a specific challenge or simply want to feel more confident and connected in your parenting, I’m here to support you.

Creative therapy, as I practice it, offers a unique and insightful path to emotional exploration for individuals of all ages. While traditional art forms like painting and drawing can be valuable, I frequently incorporate a range of symbolic tools to facilitate deeper self-understanding. Picture and word cards can unlock hidden narratives, allowing us to explore complex emotions through visual and linguistic associations, beneficial for adults seeking deeper self-reflection, children expressing complex feelings, and teens navigating identity. Matryoshka dolls offer a layered approach to understanding inner selves, revealing different aspects of personality and experiences, useful for all ages to explore their internal world. Sandtray work provides a tactile and symbolic landscape for processing emotions and creating external representations of internal states, allowing for safe expression for children who struggle to verbalise, teens exploring social situations, and adults processing past trauma. Crystals can be used as tools for focusing intention and exploring energetic connections, and guided imagery allows us to access and explore inner landscapes, fostering self-awareness and healing, both effective for all ages. This approach is not about artistic skill; it's about using these creative mediums to externalise and explore internal experiences. These tools can facilitate communication, emotional regulation, and self-discovery, providing a gentle and insightful way to process difficult emotions and promote personal growth in adults, children, and teens.
Walk & Talk therapy combines the therapeutic benefits of counselling with the revitalising power of nature, offering a dynamic and engaging approach to personal growth. This modality moves away from the traditional office setting, taking sessions outdoors into natural environments such as parks, trails, or gardens. The rhythmic motion of walking, coupled with the fresh air and natural surroundings, can help to reduce stress, promote relaxation, and enhance overall well-being. The change in environment can create a more relaxed and open atmosphere, fostering a deeper sense of connection between therapist and client. This approach can be particularly beneficial for individuals who find traditional therapy settings restrictive or intimidating. Walk & Talk therapy encourages physical movement, which can release endorphins and improve mood, while also providing a different perspective on personal challenges. The natural environment can act as a metaphor for personal growth and change, allowing for deeper reflection and insight. This modality offers a unique opportunity to integrate physical and emotional well-being, promoting a holistic approach to healing and personal development.
Online therapy offers a flexible and accessible approach to counselling, allowing individuals to access professional support from the comfort and convenience of their own homes. This modality utilises a secure video conferencing platform, providing a virtual face-to-face experience that maintains the therapeutic connection and confidentiality of traditional in-person sessions. Online therapy is particularly beneficial for individuals with busy schedules, limited mobility, or those who prefer the privacy and convenience of virtual sessions. It eliminates the need for travel, making therapy more accessible to those in remote areas or with time constraints. This modality allows for a seamless continuation of therapy, regardless of geographical location. Through the online platform, I can utilise a variety of therapeutic techniques, adapting them to the virtual environment. This includes talk therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), and other therapeutic approaches. Online therapy provides a safe and supportive space for individuals to explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences, fostering personal growth and emotional well-being. This modality ensures that individuals can receive the support they need, regardless of their circumstances, promoting mental health and accessibility.
