I am an accredited Mental Health Social Worker and Registered Art Psychotherapist with a warm, down-to-earth and relational approach to therapy. I work with children, adolescents and adults from a wide range of backgrounds and life experiences, and I place a strong emphasis on creating a space where people can feel comfortable being themselves without judgement. Humour, creativity and genuine connection are all welcome in the room.
I support people experiencing anxiety, trauma, emotional dysregulation, low self-worth, relationship difficulties, neurodivergence, life transitions, and periods of feeling stuck or disconnected from themselves. My practice is trauma-informed and neurodiversity-affirming, and I bring both professional and lived experience to my work.
I draw from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), art psychotherapy, narrative therapy, mindfulness, somatic and nervous system informed approaches, and other experiential therapies. I use these approaches because I am particularly interested in going beyond surface level symptoms and considering the whole person: the mind, body, emotions, relationships and experiences that shape how we understand ourselves and the world around us.
I value curiosity, authenticity, trust and wholeness. I believe therapy can create the space to slow down, understand yourself more deeply, and recognise the strengths, values and inner resources you already hold. My aim is to support you in building greater trust in yourself and creating change that feels meaningful, genuine and lasting.
