Relational, Depth-Oriented Counselling for Individuals
The relationship we build in therapy is one of the strongest predictors of meaningful change. I prioritise creating a space that feels safe enough for you to bring more of yourself into the room, including the parts that feel vulnerable, conflicted, or uncertain. From there, we can gently work with whatever feels most challenging.
Coming to therapy often marks a transition, even if you’re still feeling stuck. While we may explore your history to understand how you’ve learned to be in the world, I’m also attentive to who you might be becoming. Therapy can be a space where new possibilities begin to take shape.
Why Might You Come to Therapy?
- You might be experiencing low mood or depression, and wanting to feel more aliveness again
- You might be feeling quite anxious a lot of the time, and wanting to better manage life’s ups and downs
- You might find yourself repeating painful attachment patterns in relationships, and wanting to find more joy, ease, and flow
- You might be navigating jealousy, boundaries, or communication challenges in either monogamy or non-monogamy, and wanting to find better ways of relating
- You might be feeling dissatisfied with life, wanting to rediscover a sense of meaning and purpose
- You might know that you are carrying old trauma, and need a space to process and transform it
I support people through a range of different challenges, and you are welcome to get in touch if you would like to talk about whether we could be a good fit.

Relational Therapy
It’s common for the challenges you experience in your life – particularly in relationships – to show up in therapy too. With care and sensitivity, we can notice how familiar dynamics unfold in the room. Paying attention to these patterns as they emerge allows us to understand them more deeply and begin experimenting with different ways of relating.
Trauma Informed Therapy
Living with trauma can shape how you experience yourself and others, particularly when it relates to early family dynamics. You might notice patterns of self-criticism, difficulty trusting, or finding yourself in unhealthy or codependent relationships.
I aim to create a space where trauma can be explored at a pace that feels manageable. Together, we pay attention to overwhelm or dysregulation, building internal safety so that you can experience greater steadiness and security in your relationships.
Depth Therapy
I most commonly work open-endedly with people seeking meaningful, long-term change. While we may sometimes explore practical tools or strategies, I’m less interested in quick fixes and more interested in sustainable change. That often means slowing down, staying with difficult feelings, and understanding how protective patterns developed, so that new choices can emerge from awareness rather than willpower alone.
A depth approach involves exploring the underlying meanings and motivations behind what feels stuck. My work takes all of you into account: not only the more challenging parts of your history and personality, but also the creative and life-giving aspects that may feel harder to access right now.
Queer, LGBT+, and ENM/Polyamory Affirming Therapy
I work with people across diverse experiences of gender, sexuality, and relationship structure. I affirm consensual exploration of identity, intimacy, kink and connection in its many forms.
Many of my clients are queer, LGBTQIA+, or exploring ethical non-monogamy and polyamory. Others simply appreciate working with a therapist who is sex-positive and open to varied expressions of self and relationship.
I regularly work with clients navigating attachment responses, jealousy, boundary-setting and communication within both monogamous and non-monogamous relationships.
What Happens in Sessions?
- We may explore both past and present experiences, noticing how early relational patterns are influencing your life now.
- We may pay attention to what unfolds between us in the room, using the therapeutic relationship as part of the work.
- We might use imaginative or embodied practices to access experience beyond words.
- I’ll ask thoughtful questions, offer reflections, and gently challenge you when helpful.
- We’ll check in as we go, talking about how we’re working and whether we’re focusing where it feels most useful.
- Together, we’ll work toward a greater sense of agency, integration, and relational ease.
Fees & Practicalities
I offer 50-minute sessions, on a regular weekly basis, charged at £75 per session. I can usually accommodate occasional rescheduling when needed. I most often work open-endedly, but I am happy to discuss working over a fixed amount of time or number of sessions if needed.
If you would like to find out if we could be a good fit, I’m happy to offer you a call via video or phone so that you can get a sense of me and talk through any specific questions or concerns you have. If you wanted to continue from there, we’d book in an initial session where we could see how it would feel to work together, which I offer a reduced rate of £35 for.
