Most people don’t come to therapy because they want to “talk about their feelings.” They come because something isn’t working: anger leaks out, anxiety won’t switch off, intimacy feels hard, or life looks good on paper but feels flat inside.

I chose this work because I’m interested in what drives people: the hidden rules we live by, the protections we built, and the costs we keep paying.

I believe change happens when you understand the function of a pattern and practise a new response in the moments that normally hijack you.

My job is to help you slow down, tell the truth, and build a steadier way of relating to yourself and the people you care about.

​

I’m direct, warm, and collaborative, challenging when it’s needed, never shaming. Sessions are focused and human: we’ll work with what’s happening in your life right now, make sense of the deeper patterns underneath it, and turn insight into progress you can feel.

​

Strong fit if you: want depth and practical change; are ready to be honest; want better self-control, clearer boundaries, stronger relationships, and more self-respect.
Not the best fit if you: want quick reassurance without doing the work; want someone to take sides in every conflict; or need urgent crisis support (I can help you find the right resources).

​

As a general rule, the first few sessions will look like this:

Assessment: what’s going on, what you want to change, and where you feel stuck.
Patterns: we map the repeating loop (triggers - reactions - consequences) and what it protects you from.
Plan: we agree a clear focus, how we’ll work, and what progress will look like, then begin practising new responses.

This can take a varying amount of time depending on how the therapy is going.

​

Outside the therapy room I’m drawn to training and discipline (Brazilian jiu jitsu), long walks, and the kind of quiet routines that make life feel more grounded.
