Question 1

What languages can I speak in during sessions?

Question 2

How would you describe your approach to therapy?

Accepted Answer

I am a Counselling Psychologist and Relational Therapist working with adults, couples and families. I believe we do not exist in isolation; our relationships, early attachment experiences and the environments we grow up in shape how we see ourselves, relate to others and navigate life.

My approach draws primarily from attachment-based perspectives and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), alongside systems thinking. I am interested in how our past experiences influence our present and how patterns of relating can repeat and maintain themselves over time. In therapy, I aim to create a safe, non-judgemental space where we can explore these patterns, understand the emotions and needs beneath them, and make sense of how they developed. I hope this process helps you understand yourself more deeply, feel more secure in your relationships, and become more confident in the choices you make.

Question 3

What values guide your work with people?

Accepted Answer

I believe there is no absolute right or wrong; our actions, choices, and ways of being are shaped by the experiences we carry and the worlds we grow up in. I think there is something likeable in everyone we meet, if we take the time to know them deeply. This belief guides the way I approach therapy with curiosity rather than judgement, and a willingness to understand the person beyond their actions or the difficulties they bring into the room. I see therapy as a space where people can be understood in all their complexity, without being reduced to their mistakes, struggles, or patterns.

Question 4

What kind of therapist do you try to be for your clients?

Accepted Answer

I try to be a therapist who brings humanness into the room, creating a space where connection feels as important as the work we do together. I want my clients to feel seen and heard, not just in their struggles, but also in the parts of themselves they may have overlooked or learnt to dismiss. I value understanding people beyond their actions and patterns, approaching them with curiosity rather than judgement. I find it meaningful to recognise the strengths that often get lost beneath pain, self-doubt, or difficult experiences, and help clients build a more compassionate narrative of themselves.

Question 5

What would you say to someone nervous about booking a first session?

Accepted Answer

You don’t need to have it all figured out before you come to therapy. You might know what you’re feeling but struggle to put it into words, or you might not even know where to begin. That’s okay. We can untangle it together, at your own pace. There’s nothing you need to prepare, read, or know beforehand. You can simply show up as you are, and we’ll take it one step at a time.

Question 6

I've never been to therapy before. What should I expect from you?

Accepted Answer

I imagine therapy to be like a warm blanket, a safe space to return to as you explore, take risks, and venture into the unfamiliar. It’s about making sense of things together, at your own pace, knowing you have a space to come back to. You don’t have to navigate it all alone; I’m in this with you.
