While talking to a friend can be comforting and important, therapy is a professional process designed to help you better understand yourself and work through emotional difficulties. A therapist brings experience and training in supporting people with a wide range of challenges and offers a safe, non-judgemental space for deep reflection and meaningful change

As a psychologist and therapist, I draw from a range of therapeutic approaches to suit your individual needs. My work combines elements of cognitive-behavioural therapy, therapy, psychodynamic therapy, and other well-established methods.This flexible way of working means we can find the approach that best fits your unique situation.

Therapy is a highly individual process. It depends on your goals and what you’re bringing to therapy. Sometimes just a few sessions can bring relief, while deeper issues may take longer to explore. We’ll move at your pace, and together we’ll decide what feels right for

No, not at all. You don’t have to share anything you’re not ready to talk about. Therapy is your space, and you’re in control of what you choose to bring. My role is to offer a warm,respectful environment where you feel safe and supported, in your own time.

Yes, your privacy is very important to me, and I’ll always prioritise your well-being. What we discuss is kept confidential and protected by law. The only exceptions are rare situations where there’s a risk of serious harm, suspected abuse, or a legal obligation like a court order. If that ever happens, I’ll do my best to involve you and support you everystep of the way.

Not at all. Therapy is for anyone who wants to understand themselves better, improve their wellbeing, or navigate life’s challenges more effectively. You don’t have to be in crisis — therapy can support everyday struggles and help you live a more fulfilled and balanced life.

Just bring yourself as you are. There’s no need to worry about saying the “right” thing. The first session is about getting to know each other, talking about what’s brought you here, and seeing how we might work together. You’re welcome to think about your goals, but it’s perfectly fine if you’re not sure yet — we’ll take things step by step.

Before we begin regular therapy sessions, I’ll invite you to a free initial consultation. This is a brief phone or online meeting (around 30 minutes) where we can get to know each other a little, talk about what’s brought you to seek support, and see whether my approach feels like a good fit for your needs. Sometimes, if I believe another form of support may be more appropriate for your situation, I may offer alternative suggestions. I understand that taking the first step can feel daunting – that’s why I aim to create a sense of safety and ease from the very beginning.

Before your first full session, I’ll ask you to complete a few short questionnaires. These help us gain a clearer picture of your situation and serve as a starting point for our work together. They can also be useful for tracking your progress and the effectiveness of therapy as we go along.

In the initial sessions, we’ll focus on building our relationship, setting goals, and developing a shared understanding of what you’re struggling with. Therapy is a dynamic, collaborative process – we’ll shape the direction of our work together, adapting it to what works best for you and aligns with your values and pace.

Roughly every six sessions, we’ll pause for a therapy review. This is a chance to reflect on the goals we set, complete a few brief questionnaires again, and talk about how you’re experiencing the process so far. These reviews help ensure that our work remains meaningful and effective for you.

At times, I may suggest simple exercises or reflections to try between sessions. These “home practices” are designed to help extend the therapeutic process into your everyday life and deepen the changes that begin during our time together.

I bring to this work my full presence, professional commitment, and care. At the same time, your own involvement is essential to the outcomes of therapy. This is a shared journey: you bring your openness, effort, and willingness, and I bring my knowledge, experience, and attention.

Eventually – when it feels right and you’re gaining a stronger sense of self-understanding and inner resources – we’ll begin preparing to bring therapy to a close. Ending therapy is an important phase that deserves care and reflection. Goodbyes can be emotional, so we aim for this transition to be thoughtful, planned, and steady – with clarity about where been and what’s ahead.

You don’t need to have it all figured out to begin.

You’re welcome just as you are – that’s where we’ll start.

It’s completely natural to feel unsure or nervous at first. Therapy is a space where we can explore those feelings together. If at any point something doesn’t feel quite right, we can about it and adjust our approach. Your comfort and sense of safety are always my priority.

I usually recommend weekly or fortnightly sessions to keep the process consistent and effective. That said, the pace and structure of therapy are always tailored to you.

Of course. Therapy is here to support you in achieving your goals. If you feel you’ve reached a point where you’re ready to move on, we can bring the process to a close. And you’re always welcome to return if you’d like to continue later on.

You can get in touch with me through the contact form on my website, via email, or by phone — whichever you prefer. I’m happy to answer any questions you might have and find a time that works for you.
If there’s anything else you’d like to know or talk through, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I’m here to help.

That’s a very important question – and it’s completely understandable that you might be wondering about it.

As a psychologist and therapist, I am committed to professionalism and to deeply respecting diversity in all its forms. Therapy isn’t about my personal values – it’s aboutyours.

Even if our personal beliefs or backgrounds differ, my role is never to judge or tell you how to live your life. There’s no one “right” way to live – therapy isn’t a set of instructions, but a space for thoughtful exploration of what matters to you, what works for you, and how you can live in a way that feels authentic and true to yourself.

Rather than offering fixed answers, I’m here to support you in finding your own. If I suggest a certain approach or technique, you’re always free to take it, leave it, or discuss it with me further. At times, I may share psychological insights or research about what supports mental health and wellbeing – but never to push a particular lifestyle or worldview.

Your values, choices, and identity are the starting point for our work – not something to be challenged or debated.
