My Approach
As your therapist, I aim to create a space where we can explore the areas in your life that feel difficult, stuck, or confusing. I am not here as an "expert" to tell you what to do but as a companion in a collaborative process of discovery. My goal is to support you in reconnecting with your own inherent wisdom and building trust in your inner resources.
A Compassionate Practice
Our work together is grounded in mindfulness and reflective inquiry. This means we approach your experiences whether thoughts, emotions, or bodily sensations with curiosity, compassion, and an openness to what unfolds. There is no "right" or "wrong" way to feel in therapy, and the space we create together is one of acceptance and presence.
​
While my own background is inspired by Buddhist practice, you don’t need to be a Buddhist to engage in this work. Instead, I draw on the universal principles of awareness, connection, and authenticity to support your healing journey. My approach also considers how your unique life circumstances, including culture, sexuality, and identity, shape your experiences. I strive to work inclusively, with sensitivity to differences and a willingness to learn from each client I meet.
Commitment to Professional Standards
I regularly participate in clinical supervision and professional development courses to ensure that my practice remains informed, ethical, and effective. This ongoing learning supports both the quality of the therapy I offer and my personal growth as a practitioner.
I strictly adhere to current policies on confidentiality and data protection and am registered as a Data Controller with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO). To ensure your safety and trust, I hold professional indemnity insurance and follow the ethical codes of the Association of Core Process Psychotherapists (ACPP), The Karuna Institute, and the UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP).
Free 30 Minute Introductory Meeting
Entering psychotherapy can feel daunting and choosing the right therapist is important. To help us determine if we can work together, I offer a free initial phone call and a 30-minute introductory meeting. This gives us a chance to explore what you want from your sessions and address any concerns or questions you may have.
