Therapy tailored to you
Therapy is something we do together. I bring my training and experience, and you bring your own understanding of your life. Between us, we can begin to make sense of what’s happening and think about what might help.
There isn’t one approach that suits everyone. I draw on established psychological methods, but adapt how I work to fit you, rather than following a fixed model.
What therapy can help with
Therapy provides a structured space to:
Understand patterns in your thoughts, feelings, and behaviour
Make sense of difficult experiences
Develop more effective ways of coping
Improve relationships and communication
Build confidence and resilience
Make clearer decisions about your life
Types of work
Short-term, focused therapy
This is suitable if you have a specific issue or goal. It typically involves a defined number of sessions and focuses on practical change.
Examples include:
Managing anxiety in a particular situation
Navigating a life transition
Developing coping strategies
Support during a difficult period
Longer-term psychotherapy
This allows for deeper, more exploratory work over time.
It can help you:
Understand recurring patterns
Explore the roots of long-standing difficulties
Work through complex or multiple issues
Develop a stronger sense of self
Areas of particular experience
Addiction and addictive behaviours
I have specialist experience in this area and keep my work informed by ongoing research. I work with people at all stages, from those just beginning to question their relationship with substances or behaviours to those maintaining longer-term change.
Trauma and difficult experiences
I provide trauma-informed therapy, working at a pace that feels manageable and safe.
Anxiety and depression
I work with how these present in your life specifically, rather than applying a generic model.
Relationships
This includes patterns in close relationships, communication difficulties, and how past experiences affect current connections.
Practical information
- Session length: 50 minutes
- Format: In-person (City, near Liverpool Street) or online

First session
The first session is a chance for us to understand what brings you to therapy and what you’re looking for. It’s also an opportunity for you to decide whether you feel comfortable working with me.
There is no obligation to continue beyond this.
