I’m an integrative embodied-relational therapist. Working integratively means I draw on multiple modalities and theories, collaborating with you to create a space that best fits your needs. My therapeutic approach has been particularly shaped by relational psychotherapy, attachment theory and somatic (body) psychotherapy.

I’m interested in how the relationships we experience in our early lives affect our later ways of relating to ourselves, others and the world. I believe that therapy is a fundamentally relational endeavour - not that people are broken and therefore need to be “fixed” - but rather that through working together we can come to new ways of relating, understanding and being. I try to cultivate a warm, open and non-judgemental space for you to explore in. You are welcome to bring any issues that are important to you to sessions.

Somatic therapy looks at how our histories and experiences have become embodied within us - how we have learned to hold ourselves together in order to maximise safety and security. Working in an embodied way might look like trying to notice what is happening in your body as we speak, exploring your impulses, being curious about what is wanting to unfold (and what might be being blocked)... My somatic offerings are only ever an invitation, with full respect for your boundaries (“no” is an important part of therapy!).

I am experienced in working with issues to do with gender and sexuality, relationship diversity (polyamory, consensual non-monogamy etc) and provide an LGBTQ+ affirmative practice, but welcome clients from all backgrounds. I am mindful of the social, cultural and structural issues & inequalities involved in the difficulties we face as individuals.
