Woodbridge & Online
Sometimes life looks perfectly fine from the outside, and inside you are carrying far more than anyone realizes.
You may be feeling anxious, emotionally drained, disconnected from your partner, or stuck in patterns that no longer reflect the person you want to be. Perhaps you have spent so much time looking after other people that you have forgotten to look after yourself. Therapy is a chance to stop, make sense of what has been weighing on you, and begin making meaningful change.
I work with adults and couples dealing with anxiety, relationship challenges, stress, life transitions, self-esteem and emotional overwhelm. Some of that work is personal and some of it is about strengthening a relationship. Healing usually begins with understanding yourself more deeply and learning new ways to connect, with yourself and with the people you love.
Good therapy is reflective and practical at the same time. We look at the experiences and relationship patterns shaping your life now, and we build realistic strategies that help you move forward with more confidence and emotional balance. My role is to support you, and to challenge you when that is what helps. Often it also means pointing out strengths you have not noticed in yourself yet.
What it’s like to work with me
No two people experience life in the same way, which is why I do not believe therapy should follow a script. I take time to understand who you are and what you hope will be different. From there we build a plan together, one that is realistic and aimed at the changes that matter most to you.
My work may draw from: Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Person-Centred Therapy and Trauma-Informed Care.
My background
Working as a psychotherapist has only strengthened my belief that people are far more resilient than they give themselves credit for. I like helping clients find new perspectives and understand the patterns shaping their lives, so that difficult things start to feel more manageable and they can be a little kinder to themselves along the way.
With an individual or with a couple, what I am aiming for is the same: a therapeutic relationship built on trust, authenticity and real curiosity.
A little about me
I am moved by the ways people grow through hard things, and by the courage it takes to ask for support in the first place. Outside of therapy I spend time with family and friends, get outdoors, read, and keep learning. It is a reminder that growth usually makes you more fully yourself.
Whatever brings you to therapy, you do not have to face it on your own. There is no script for this, and what we build will be aimed at the life that actually fits you.
