Your therapeutic experience with me
Step into a space of calm, safety, and understanding. When you sit with me, you are fully seen, heard, and valued. My approach blends gentle guidance with collaborative exploration—together, we uncover patterns, beliefs, and emotions that may be holding you back. I create a supportive, non-judgmental environment where you can safely explore your inner world, release what no longer serves you, and discover your own inner wisdom. Whether through talk therapy, hypnotherapy, or both, our work is tailored to your needs. Expect sessions that are compassionate, grounded, and practical, where transformation happens at your pace. You will leave feeling lighter, clearer, and empowered.

Therapeutic approaches
These are the approaches at the heart of my work, and I use them often because they help create meaningful change:
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
I use CBT to help you recognize and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. Through practical techniques, we build healthier coping strategies, improve emotional well-being, and create lasting change for a more balanced, empowered life
Clinical Hypnotherapy
I guide you, with Clinical Hypnotherapy, to gently access your inner mind, helping release old patterns, ease stress, and nurture positive change. Together, we create a safe space for growth, healing, and lasting emotional and mental well-being
Mindfulness
I guide you, in Mindfulness to gently tune into the present moment, cultivating calm, clarity, and self-compassion. Together, we create space to observe thoughts and emotions without judgment, fostering inner peace, balance, and a deeper sense of well-being.
Solution Focused Brief Therapy
I use Solution-Focused Brief Therapy to help you identify strengths and possibilities, focusing on solutions rather than problems. Together, we explore goals, uncover practical steps, and create positive change in a supportive, empowering way.
I also draw on other evidence based approaches that can gently support you when they align with what you need:

FAQ
Did you know?
Family is at the heart of who I am. The relationships that bring joy and challenge us often hold the keys to healing, teaching compassion and patience
Authenticity matters deeply. Healing begins when we feel safe to be real, and I bring the same honesty and openness I ask of my clients.
To me, peace isn’t the absence of struggle — it’s staying present and grounded, even amid life’s uncertainties.
My intention is to add meaning to the world — through understanding, kindness, and presence, creating ripples of healing.
These values guide how I live — in family moments, mindful pauses, and simple joys — reflecting alignment, purpose, and peace.
