I have experience in working with adults and children 6-18 years old.
My approach is person-centred, trauma informed and deeply relational. I believe that the psychological sufferings we sometimes experience stem from relationships, and only in relationships can be explored, processed, and organised differently. Sometimes we try hard to be different to fit with others and in this world, and as a result we might suffer even more and feel isolated. The relationship with my clients can be a safe place where they can try more authentic and spontaneous ways of being, until they feel safe enough to bring their real self in their relationships and in the world.

Life, as we know can be full of ups and downs. Sometimes, we struggle to even get through situations that seem very familiar to us, making us feel somewhat stuck, not knowing where to turn or how to deal with certain situations.

These situations can lead to us wondering about where to turn to for appropriate support in understanding or making sense of our new experiences, or even working out new ways to overcome or manage them. It could also be that you have long term difficulties that you
