Counselling & Psychotherapy
Psychotherapy is a space where change unfolds through relationship.
People who come to this counselling work are already reflective. They understand their history and the ways they tend to respond in close relationships. What often feels missing is not insight, but something more difficult to access in the moment.
You may notice yourself overriding your own needs in order to preserve connection, second-guessing yourself, or feeling unsettled in interactions that matter to you.
It’s not that you don’t understand what’s happening.
It’s that, in the moment, something pulls you away from yourself.
How we work
In our sessions, we pay attention to what is happening in real time - not just what is being described.
How you speak about yourself.
Where your body tightens.
When you soften or move away from something important.
These patterns were shaped in relationship. In therapy, we stay with them together - within a relationship that is consistent and non-judgmental.
What begins to shift
You are met without needing to be anything other than what you are in that moment.
From here, something begins to shift. There is often more space to stay with yourself, even in places where you would usually move away.
Over time, you may notice yourself less caught in the same patterns, and more able to stay with what you’re feeling without being pulled in the same way.
There can be more clarity about what’s true for you, and less second-guessing after difficult conversations.
Relationships may begin to feel steadier and less draining, and you may find a stronger sense of yourself within them.
Over time, this work often brings a stronger sense of being fully yourself in relationship with others.
My approach
My work is relational, attachment-informed, and trauma-aware, but not driven by a fixed model.
I draw from a range of approaches - including person-centred and narrative therapy, parts-informed work, and body-aware practices - and respond to what is emerging in the moment, rather than following a set structure.
I am particularly attentive to pacing. Change does not need to be rushed to be meaningful. The shifts that last are often the ones that emerge through the therapeutic relationship.
Alongside my training in counselling and psychotherapy, I bring a background in creative arts and education, which continues to shape how I think about meaning, identity, and expression in this work.
