When we first meet, I take a broad view—looking not just at the immediate concerns, but at the wider context of your life, relationships, and history. I believe most people are doing the best they can with what they know, and that therapy can offer new perspectives, tools, and ways of relating that help move things forward. Your strengths and skills have an important place in therapy.

We’re all shaped by visible and invisible differences—our beliefs, cultures, identities, and lived experiences. Part of my role is to understand how these factors influence the way you see the world, relate to others, and define what a good life looks like for you and your family- to help us find the way forwards.

I tailor therapy to your needs, drawing from a range of evidence-based approaches, while considering your goals and particular circumstances. The models I draw on include dialogical, attachment-based, cognitive behavioural, narrative, compassion-focussed, and emotion-focused therapies. I bring creativity and playfulness to therapy with younger children, and adapt my ways of working to facilitate everyone’s participation.

Systemic and family therapy is an umbrella term that includes work focused on relationships between people, and between people and the wider contexts they live in—such as cultural, social, and structural systems. I also offer individual therapy across the lifespan, including individual systemic and cognitive behavioural therapy (I am BABCP registered).
