Common themes include anxiety, stress, depression, relationship concerns, emotional regulation, self-esteem, and feeling stuck or overwhelmed. Some people come with a clear issue, while others come with a general sense that something isn’t quite right.

The first session is an opportunity to get to know each other and to understand what has brought you to therapy. We’ll talk about what you’re hoping for, your current concerns, and any relevant background. There’s no expectation to share everything straight away, we go at a pace that feels comfortable.

My work is grounded in evidence-based psychological approaches and adapted to the individual. I draw from a range of therapeutic tools, including Schema Therapy, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, Narrative Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy, and mindfulness practices to tailor therapy in a way that genuinely fits you.
