I’ve also worked as a personal advisor for young people aged 16–23 and in the field of domestic abuse. These varied experiences have given me valuable insight into people’s lives and relationships, which I bring into my private practice as a therapist. Alongside ongoing professional development and supervision, my aim is to provide therapy that is warm, supportive, and effective in helping couples and individuals move forward. ## How I Can Help I’m told I’m easy to talk to. I’ll listen closely to understand what’s going on between you and reflect it back in a way that opens the door to change. I’ll help you communicate more effectively while making sure you both feel heard and understood at all times. I’m warm, impartial, and approachable, and I’ll ensure there’s always a balance of power in our sessions. We’ll work together to develop skills so conversations don’t escalate into conflict, giving you tools to handle differences constructively. I provide a safe, comfortable, and non-judgemental space where you can share thoughts, feelings, and vulnerabilities with respect.
