Your Journey

Initial Assessment

Your first session is an opportunity for us to meet and explore what's brought you to therapy. We'll talk about your current difficulties, a bit about your background, and what you're hoping to get from our work together.

This session is also a chance for us both to see whether we're a good fit—therapy works best when you feel comfortable with your therapist. By the end, we'll discuss whether ongoing sessions feel right for you, and if so, begin to shape a plan for our work ahead.

Confidentiality & Safety

Everything we discuss in our sessions is confidential. What you share stays between us, allowing you to speak openly and honestly.

However, I am not a crisis service. If you are in immediate danger or experiencing thoughts of harming yourself or someone else, please contact your GP, NHS 111, or in an emergency, call 999.

If a significant risk does arise during our work together, I may need to share information with appropriate services to help keep you or others safe—but I would always aim to discuss this with you first, wherever possible.

Deciding on a Therapeutic Approach

I work integratively, which means I draw from different therapeutic approaches to suit your individual needs rather than following a one-size-fits-all model.

My core training is psychodynamic, meaning I'm interested in how past experiences, relationships, and patterns outside of our immediate awareness can shape how we feel and relate to others today. This approach offers space for deeper exploration and understanding of yourself.

Alongside this, I also use techniques from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) where helpful—particularly when working with unhelpful thought patterns or building practical coping strategies.

In our initial assessment, we'll talk about what feels most useful for you, and our approach may evolve as our work together develops.

Endings

Our work together is open-ended—there's no fixed number of sessions, and we'll continue for as long as feels helpful for you.

When the time comes to end, how we finish matters. Endings can bring up important feelings, and they're often a significant part of the therapeutic process. Rather than simply stopping, we'll take time to reflect on your progress, what's changed, and what the ending means for you.

I'd encourage you to raise any thoughts about finishing when they come up, so we can work towards an ending together in a way that feels right.

My Therapeutic Approach

Therapy is a space where you can bring the parts of yourself that feel too complicated, too painful, or too confusing to carry alone. My role isn't to fix you — because I don't think you're broken. It's to work alongside you, with curiosity and without judgement, as we try to make sense of what's brought you here.

Psychodynamic Therapy

Psychodynamic therapy sits at the core of how I work. It's rooted in the idea that our past experiences, early relationships, and feelings outside of our awareness shape how we feel and relate to others today — often in ways we don't fully realise. This approach offers space to talk freely and begin making sense of patterns that may have felt stuck or confusing for a long time. It's less about quick fixes and more about lasting change through genuine self-understanding.

Humanistic and Person-Centred Values

Woven into my psychodynamic work is a humanistic and person-centred foundation. This means I place real importance on the relationship between us — the warmth, honesty, and safety of the therapeutic space isn't just a backdrop to the work, it's part of it. You won't be expected to perform wellness or say the right things. Research consistently shows that the quality of the therapeutic relationship is one of the most significant factors in whether therapy helps, and I take that seriously.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

I have also trained in CBT. Depending on what you bring, CBT techniques can be useful woven into the broader work — offering practical tools alongside deeper exploration — or as a more structured, standalone approach, particularly for difficulties like anxiety, low mood, or stress.

What This Means For You

You don't need to arrive knowing what kind of therapy you want. In our initial sessions, we'll think together about what might suit you best — and the approach may develop as the work unfolds.
