At the heart of therapy is relationship

Each of us longs, in different ways, to feel recognised – to be met in our uniqueness, complexity and vulnerability. My intention is to understand your world from your perspective and to meet you with care, curiosity and respect.

In our work together, I aim to create a space where you feel able to speak openly – not edited, not performing, and not trying to get it “right”. A space steady enough to hold what feels difficult, and honest enough to gently explore what emerges between us.

I work relationally, which means we pay attention not only to what you talk about, but also to what happens between us. Patterns that exist in other areas of your life can sometimes emerge in the therapy room. For example, you may notice a tendency to minimise your needs, avoid disagreement or prioritise my comfort over your own – just as you might in other relationships. Exploring these moments together, with care and curiosity, can lead to powerful insight and new choices.

Therapy can sometimes feel challenging. Looking closely at ourselves often is. But it can also be deeply clarifying and empowering. We move at a pace that feels manageable to you, allowing trust to develop naturally.

The human heart yearns for contact... above all it yearns for genuine dialogue.”

Our Working Relationship

Therapy is a collaborative process. The strength of the relationship we build together is often what allows deeper change to take place.

You can expect from me:

  • A respectful, confidential space focussed on you

  • Professionalism and clear ethical boundaries

  • Attentive listening and thoughtful challenge where appropriate

  • Gentle encouragement to explore what feels difficult

From you, I invite:

  • Openness, at a pace that feels safe

  • A willingness to reflect on patterns

  • Honest feedback if something doesn’t feel helpful or comfortable

If you would like to explore whether this way of working feels right for you, you are welcome to get in touch for an initial conversation.
