My approach

I aim to make therapy approachable and understandable. I use common, everyday language and often draw diagrams or use a whiteboard to make ideas clearer and more concrete. You won’t be expected to know psychological jargon or theory, that’s my job to translate.

​

I don’t use one type of therapy strictly. Instead, I draw on a combination of evidence‑based approaches, mainly Schema Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). I also integrate ideas from compassion-focused, solution‑focused, and attachment‑focused therapies, depending on what fits you and your situation. 

​

We’ll work together to decide on the best path forward, taking into account your preferences, abilities, values, and resources. My role isn’t to be an authority telling you what to do, I sit with you through the difficult moments and walk beside you as we make sense of things together.

​

I also believe therapy doesn’t have to be heavy all the time. Where it feels appropriate, I include a bit of humour and lightness, while still taking your experiences seriously. The aim is for our sessions to feel safe, collaborative, and human.
