I provide a space where you can speak openly and safely about whatever you’re feeling without judgement. Even the most uncomfortable emotions become easier to understand when they’re explored gently and with support. My integrative approach means I draw on different therapy styles, depending on what you need. We might look at patterns that keep showing up in your life, explore specific triggers, or work on practical ways to cope. Many people find it helpful to revisit past experiences and reframe them with greater compassion and acceptance. Often speaking them aloud in a safe space, and recognising that they are valid and human, can make them easier to understand and process. This can lead to greater empowerment, confidence, and resilience. Sometimes, it’s simply about having an hour each week that is just for you.
