I am a trauma-informed integrative psychotherapist with an interest in grief and loss, such as bereavement, relationship endings, identity-related struggles, or the loss of community. I am warm, inclusive and person-centred, holding space for the full complexity of the human experience- grief, joy and everything in between. I accompany people on their therapeutic journey, turning towards their pain with compassion and curiosity, guiding them to deeper self-awareness. I believe that understanding our grief helps us reclaim lost parts of ourselves, and, in doing so, we can restore a sense of wholeness and connection to life.

I enjoy working with individuals of all ages seeking to think together about and make sense of their experience and how this has come to shape who they are, their relationships and their way of being in the world. This approach may be helpful for people experiencing feelings of depression, anxiety; difficulties in relationships; issues relating to past trauma, grief & loss; difficulties arising from childhood experiences; or difficulties with adjustment/transition to life events. I also enjoy supporting parents in understanding their child's emotions, addressing parenting challenges, and strengthening the parent-child relationship.

I'm open minded, non judgemental and interested in helping clients to explore the contents of their hearts and minds to better understand their internal struggles, interpersonal relationships and how they exist in the world.
