About therapy with me

You may be wondering what therapy with me is like, and how I might differ from other therapists. Below, I’ve shared a few things to give you a sense of my approach.

I aim to hold a warm, compassionate space where you can explore what’s troubling you. We usually begin with whatever feels most alive or immediate for you in the moment. I see therapy as a collaborative relationship — a space we create together to inquire into your experience. At times, this might feel challenging, as therapy often invites us to look deeply at ourselves and the patterns that shape us.

Ultimately, I hope that therapy helps us to understand both our personal and cultural conditioning, so that we can experience a greater sense of freedom in how we live and relate — with ourselves and with others. For me, therapy is about coming into a fuller, more accepting relationship with different parts of ourselves and finding more freedom through that process.

My approach integrates embodied, relational, and mindfulness-based methods, drawing on Buddhist psychology as well as Western psychodynamic and psychotherapy traditions. This includes working with trauma and attachment theory, transpersonal perspectives, and cultural understandings. I think therapy is about exploring how we’ve been shaped by our experiences and cultures, and discovering new ways of being that feel freer and more alive.

My original psychotherapy training is a Masters degree and UKCP accreditation in relational, mindfulness based core process psychotherapy.
