About…

If you’re reading this, it’s probably because you’re curious about your feelings and thoughts, and maybe even about the human condition more generally. If that’s true, we have that curiosity in common. It’s what brought me to this career, and what continues to motivate me to help people understand more about who they are, how they want to be in the world, and how they can connect in important ways with others around them.
 
I believe that sadness, fear and anger are normal emotions that are part of living a full life. At the same time, I also know from personal experience that sometimes negativity and self-judgement can feel like too much to bear, and that asking for help is the best way to gain perspective and find strength. I use a mix of therapeutic theories and methods (person-centered, narrative, psychodynamic, solution-focussed, mindfulness) to help people see themselves more clearly, so that they can feel some relief, both on their own and through cultivating supportive relationships.
 
I bring warmth, focus and a non-judgemental approach to each of my sessions, and I see the world through a lens of social justice. I help people who are experiencing anxiety, depression, loneliness, self-doubt and/or those who are having difficulties with life transitions, ageing, work and career choices, and relationships. I have experience navigating mental health issues in the academic world, and a special interest in couples and family issues.
