Psychological Therapy
My mindfulness and compassion-based interventions focus on helping you understand and alleviate psychological issues such as depression, anxiety, stress and trauma.
What can I offer you?
Sometimes we need to share our story.
I’m listening; you will be heard.~ I provide a safe, professional space to explore links between life experiences and health
~ Support understanding with sensitivity while focusing on practical ways to move forward
~ Work at your pace, guided by a values-based therapeutic plan
~ Offer optional integration of practices to support both mind and body
~ Agree sessions collaboratively, with regular reviews and a planned, supportive ending
“I want therapy to be a joyful process”

My Therapeutic Approach
My training and experience allow me to work with you in an integrative, collaborative way rather than offering a one-size-fits-all approach. This is especially valuable where mental and physical health overlap, where trauma may be present, or where cultural background and diversity are important to honour. I am passionate about holistic, trauma-sensitive care that supports the whole person and recognises the connection between mind, body and lived experience.
I draw on contemporary therapies and mindfulness-based approaches, including Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT), mindfulness-informed CBT, humanistic therapy and somatic mind-body practices. Integrating Eastern contemplative traditions with contemporary neuroscience, I offer accessible and compassionate practices that support greater openness, resilience and wellbeing across the biological, psychological, social and spiritual dimensions of health.

Safe environment
Whether online or in person, you’ll be in a professional and safe environment. I’ll support you in understanding and making psychological links between life events and health with sensitivity, whilst holding focus on strategies to move forward and improve quality of life.
-
Values-based care plan
Together we’ll create a values-based care plan working at a pace that gives you time to feel comfy in discussing concerns with an integration of practices if you wish that lead to a variety of benefits in mind and body.

Transition when you're ready
Sessions are agreed with opportunity for reviews along with an ending so that engagement and transition from therapy is in collaboration.
What sessions could include
Alongside talking therapy, you may choose to include:
gentle yoga practices
gentle breath practice
mindfulness meditation
somatic and embodied approaches
grounding and nervous system regulation techniques
compassion-focused practices
These practices are always adapted to your needs and experience.
The aim is not performance or flexibility, but helping you reconnect with your body as a source of wisdom, safety and support.
