Therapy that supports understanding, healing and meaningful change.
Evidence-informed therapy begins with understanding you, your experiences, and what matters most to you.
Approaches are integrated thoughtfully and adapted to support stability, insight, and sustainable change.
Therapy is most effective when it begins with a clear understanding of the person — their history, nervous system, relationships, and the environments they move through.
My work is grounded in a psychodynamic understanding of human behaviour and informed by evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), mindfulness-based, somatic, and schema-informed practices.
Psychodynamic, Relational & Schema-Informed Understanding
A psychodynamic and relational approach forms the foundation of my work. This involves understanding how early experiences, attachment patterns, identity, relational roles, and deeply held beliefs about ourselves and others can shape emotional responses, behaviour, and coping under pressure.
Schema-informed work can deepen this understanding by helping identify long-standing patterns related to self-worth, responsibility, control, emotional needs, and relationships.
Together, these perspectives support greater understanding of patterns that may once have been adaptive but are no longer serving you, creating space for different ways of relating to yourself and others.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy & Dialectical Behaviour Therapy
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) provide practical, evidence-based strategies for managing distress, emotional intensity, and unhelpful thinking or behavioural patterns.
DBT skills include emotional regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness, while CBT strategies support identifying and shifting patterns that maintain anxiety, depression, or burnout.
These approaches are particularly helpful in high-pressure environments where clarity, steadiness, and effective action are essential.
Mindfulness & Somatic Practices
Mindfulness and somatic practices can help strengthen awareness of emotions, bodily sensations, and nervous system responses, while increasing the capacity to remain present with difficult internal experiences.
Over time, this work can support greater emotional regulation, interoceptive awareness, and the ability to pause and respond thoughtfully rather than becoming overwhelmed or reacting automatically.
The work is grounded in evidence-based and evidence-informed psychotherapy, delivered with cultural humility and a person-centred lens.
Therapeutic approaches are applied with care and flexibility, informed by each person’s identity, lived experience, values, and ways of understanding healing.
Clients are regarded as experts in their own lives, and therapy is shaped collaboratively to honour both clinical rigor and personal meaning.
