I base my work on a formulation-driven approach. Instead of just looking at symptoms, we work together to understand how your challenges started and what might be keeping them going. We consider your past experiences, including trauma, as well as your current situation, relationships, and patterns of thinking and reacting.

I aim to create a structured and collaborative space where we can explore your experiences together. I will be involved throughout the process by asking questions, sharing thoughts, and helping you notice patterns that might not be obvious at first.

My approach is person-centred, trauma-informed, and neurodiversity-affirming. This means we work at a pace that feels manageable, prioritise safety and stabilisation where needed, and see differences like autism and ADHD as part of who you are, not things that need to be “fixed.”

Along with working on thoughts and emotions, I also include a mind and body perspective when it’s helpful. This can help us understand how trauma and stress show up in your body and how that connects to managing emotions.

I use evidence-based models, including CBT, ACT, and compassion-focused approaches, as well as relational and narrative perspectives. My goal is to help you find practical and lasting ways to cope that fit your unique needs.
