I have experience working with adults of all ages. I have worked mostly in public mental health services, including community and residential settings. I have worked with people across all stages of recovery, including during times of crisis. I am a strong advocate of the recovery model and believe that everyone has the capacity to lead a meaningful life, including those experiencing mental health conditions.
I have skills to work with people experiencing:
I am passionate about providing trauma-informed and holistic care. I ground my approach in attachment theory, working to help you make sense of how your early life experiences may be informing your current struggles. I appreciate that therapy can be a daunting space for everyone, but especially those who have experienced trauma; I use a client-centred and relational approach to help me attune to your needs, so that we can pace therapy in a way that feels safe. I work to create a therapy space that empowers you to find ways to identify and vocalise your needs.
I enjoy working with people of various backgrounds. I am experienced in supporting people from culturally/linguistically diverse groups, neurodiverse people, and members of the LGBTQIA+ community. I work continuously to educate myself so that I can provide culturally-safe and neuroaffirming care.
In my spare time, I enjoy animal watching, spending time in nature, travelling, and going to the local cinema. I also like trying new cafes and restaurants, particularly if there’s matcha involved!
I work collaboratively with clients to tailor my therapeutic approach to their needs and preferences. This can include drawing upon one or more of the following therapies:
