I've had the privilege of working with clients from their mid-twenties to their sixties, each coming in as a unique individual with different struggles that they're hoping to find some clarity on through therapy. Sometimes the reason is clear and specific – a bereavement, heartbreak, loneliness, or addiction. Just as often, though, it's simply a feeling that things aren't quite right, or recognising certain patterns without knowing the answers behind them.
Therapy is a space to make room for that complexity of being human — a space where you can explore what you're feeling and begin to make sense of the experiences that have shaped you. My training is rooted in person-centred therapy, while my own experience as a client has taught me a great deal about unlearning childhood conditioning. My practice is therefore a mixture of both – client-led, while also looking at repeated patterns to help you understand yourself a little better.
To me, therapy is a collaborative journey. While I will most probably not have the answers to what you’re going through, sometimes a question from an outside perspective, or a listening ear that isn't rushing to interpret your feelings, could be what helps untangle the knots that feel stuck.
