What Guides My Practice
Therapy is not one-size-fits-all. Every person is different, every story, every nervous system, every need. My approach is grounded in curiosity, compassion, and deep respect for your lived experience. I draw from a range of therapeutic models, but I always begin with the relationship.
This work isn’t about fixing you. It’s about walking alongside you, making space for reflection, insight, and healing at your own pace, with gentleness and integrity.
I bring both professional experience and personal insight into the therapy space. Here are the core principles that guide how I work:
Relational
I believe the therapeutic relationship is the most important aspect of the work. Together, we create a space of trust and safety, a space where you can be seen, heard, and supported without judgment.
Trauma-Informed
We move gently, in collaboration with your body and nervous system. I work from a trauma-informed lens, always honouring your pace, your voice, and your readiness. Consent, safety, and choice are central.
Integrative
I draw from a range of evidence-informed modalities, including attachment theory, narrative therapy, parts work, somatic awareness, and inner child exploration, depending on what’s most helpful for you.
Collaborative & Curious
I don’t see myself as the expert of your life, you are. My role is to come alongside you with curiosity, clinical grounding, and care, helping you explore what matters most and make meaning of your experiences.
The Approaches That Guide Me
I work integratively, which means I weave together a range of therapeutic approaches, always guided by your needs, goals, and what feels most supportive for you. At the core, my work is relational, reflective, and trauma-informed, but I also offer practical tools and strategies that support meaningful change in everyday life. Below are some of the key modalities and influences that shape my work:
Attachment-Based Therapy
Much of how we experience the world, emotionally and relationally, is shaped by early attachment patterns. This approach supports us to explore trust, connection, boundaries, and safety, while gently shifting long-held dynamics that may no longer serve you.
Trauma-Informed Practice
Being trauma-informed means more than understanding trauma, it’s about creating a space that prioritises safety, choice, consent, and collaboration. This lens acknowledges the whole person, not just their history, but their strengths, adaptations, and capacity to heal.
Practical Tools & Skills-Based Support
Alongside deeper exploration, I also integrate elements of CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy), ACT (Acceptance & Commitment Therapy), and task-based work when it’s useful. This might look like exploring thought patterns, building emotional regulation skills, or setting realistic goals to support day-to-day change.
Narrative Therapy
Narrative therapy invites us to explore the stories we carry, about ourselves, our relationships, and the world. Together, we look at how those stories were formed, what they protect, and how they can be reshaped in ways that honour your truth and growth.
Inner Child Exploration
Sometimes, different parts of us carry different needs, beliefs, or wounds. Through parts work and inner child exploration, we bring compassion and curiosity to those internal experiences — helping to integrate what’s been exiled, silenced, or left behind.
Relational Presence & Attunement
The therapeutic relationship is at the heart of the work. I aim to show up with presence, care, and authenticity — attuned not just to your words, but to what’s said underneath them. This means paying attention to body language, tone, patterns in how we relate, and what’s happening in the space between us.
An Invitation To Connect.
Healing doesn’t happen in isolation, it happens in relationship.
If you’re curious about beginning therapy, I’d love to hear from you.

Together, we can explore what healing, clarity, and meaningful change might look like for you.
