Therapy Approach

My core modality is psychodynamic therapy, supported by psychoanalytic thinking, which allows exploration of unconscious patterns, internal conflicts, and the impact of early childhood experiences. I have a strong professional interest in trauma. As a member of the UK Complex Trauma Institute, I regularly take part in trauma-focused workshops and CPD events.

In my practice, I combine psychodynamic therapy with body-focused techniques, CBT, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), creating a safe and supportive space where clients can explore both emotional and physical experiences. I pay careful attention to how past experiences and current stressors may influence thoughts, feelings, and behaviour.

I work collaboratively with clients, helping them gain insight into the underlying causes of their difficulties, process challenging emotions, and develop practical strategies to manage stress, anxiety, and overwhelm. Sessions are tailored to each client’s needs, combining emotional exploration, somatic awareness, and evidence-based coping strategies to support resilience, psychological flexibility, self-awareness, and overall wellbeing. 

My group work is rooted in a trauma-informed, relational approach, creating a safe and supportive space for shared exploration and connection. Group sessions combine shared reflection with gentle experiential practices, including grounding, mindfulness, guided visualisation, and creative art exercises. There is no pressure to share; participation is always optional, and participants are welcome to engage in whatever way feels comfortable for them.
