Individual Therapy

If you want to create a life that feels more like your own, express your unique purpose and strengths in the world, or build more positive and fulfilling relationships, individual therapy can support you in getting there.

In therapy, we work together in a safe and supportive space to make sense of what’s going on beneath the surface. Over time, this can lead to meaningful and lasting change. Difficult experiences like anxiety, low mood, or unhelpful relationship patterns can feel heavy, but they don’t have to define your life or your future.

I believe everyone deserves space to be heard, understood, and to reconnect with what matters to them, your story matters. Even if part of you feels stuck or unsure, there is often another part that senses something could be different.

How therapy works

We usually begin by clarifying what you would like to be different in your life. This might involve relationships, work, mood, confidence, or a greater sense of fulfilment and ease.

From there, we explore what might be getting in the way. Often, people notice repeating patterns in relationships, thinking, or behaviour that keep them feeling stuck.

Together, we then decide on the most helpful ways of working to support change, drawing on different approaches depending on your needs and goals.

How I work and what techniques I use:

I work as a pluralistic therapist, which means I tailor therapy collaboratively with you, drawing on a range of approaches rather than using a single model.

Humanistic approach focuses on your experience of being you. I believe you are the expert on your own life, and my role is to offer a supportive, non-judgemental space where you can feel understood and accepted. We might explore your feelings, your sense of identity, and what feels meaningful for you, with the aim of helping you grow into a more authentic version of yourself at your own pace.

Psychodynamic approach explores how past experiences and unconscious patterns may still be influencing how you feel and relate today. We work towards insight and understanding of these patterns over time.

CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviours are connected. We identify unhelpful patterns and develop practical ways to shift them to support day-to-day coping.

ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) is about learning how to relate differently to difficult thoughts and feelings, rather than trying to get rid of them. We work on making space for internal experiences while also focusing on what really matters to you in life—your values. From there, we explore small, meaningful steps you can take, even when things feel uncomfortable, with the aim of building a life that feels more purposeful and aligned with who you want to be.

Creative Person-Centred Approach is rooted in the belief that you lead the process, and I’m here to support you with empathy and acceptance. Alongside talking, we might also use creative methods like imagery, metaphor, drawing, writing, or movement—whatever feels comfortable for you. These creative ways can sometimes help express things that are difficult to put into words and can open up new ways of understanding your experiences.

Existential approach explores the bigger questions that can sit underneath distress—things like meaning, purpose, freedom, choice, and responsibility. It’s less about “fixing” you and more about making space to reflect on how you want to live, especially when life feels uncertain, painful, or overwhelming.

Narrative therapy looks at the stories you hold about your life and helps you reshape them in ways that highlight your strengths, values, and preferred identity.

The Bader-Pearson Developmental Model suggests that relationships move through predictable stages, it helps us understand where you may be stuck in your relationship development. Together, we explore where you are willing to shift to build the kind of relationship and life you want.
