I follow a client centered, psychodynamic approach, working alongside the client to support them. Through building a trusting, safe relationship, my aim is to support you with past and present issues, helping you to overcome adversity and thrive in life.

Client Types : Children, Adolescents, Young Adults (5-25).

Approach : My passion in therapy is engaging in longer term work, supporting those who have experienced trauma, or are struggling with any mood or anxiety related issues. Additionally, my main focus is in suicide prevention, not only in harm reduction but engaging in therapy until the client is thriving in their life.

Issues Covered : Anger Management, Anxiety, Bipolar Disorder, Depression, Emotional Instability, Grief & Loss, Identity, Loneliness, OCD, Panic Attacks, Personal Development, Physical Illness, PTSD & Trauma, Relationship Issues, Self-Esteem, Self-Harm, Sex, Sexualitty & Gender, Social Anxiety, Suicidality, Toxic Shame, Transitions & Change.

Background : I have been working in the mental health space for almost a decade. In this time, I have trained in psychotherapy, and have specialised training and experience in youth suicide prevention. My role as your therapist is to support you in current adversities, while also encouraging you to explore your past experiences and consider how our past impacts us today. My work is client focused, adapting my practice to consider what the client needs at that time. I use a range of modalities, especially when working with younger clients, such as art therapy, play therapy and sand tray.
