About Me
Before training as a psychotherapist, I worked for many years as a creative in the advertising industry. This experience has given me a deep understanding of the pressures of corporate life, the challenges of creative work, and the impact these can have on our sense of self. I bring this lived experience into my practice.
Diversity and equality are central to the way I work. My approach to therapy is relational, collaborative, LGBTQI+ affirmative, and psychoanalytically informed. This means I encourage the development of self-awareness to gain insight into the unconscious dynamics and patterns that may be limiting or causing you distress. Through connected conversation and collaboration, we will explore your thoughts and feelings, helping to bring meaning and clarity to your experiences.
Whether you are struggling with anxiety, relationship challenges, questions around gender or sexuality, trauma, workplace stress, bereavement, or a general sense of unease, I offer a space where you can feel heard, understood, and supported. Together, we will explore the underlying factors contributing to your emotional challenges and work toward resolving them.
Through this process, you will begin to understand what shapes your present thoughts and behaviours. Making these associations and links can help you develop a deeper understanding of yourself, gain clarity, and find healthier ways of responding to life’s challenges with greater awareness, insight, and integration.
