Monday to Thursday: 9am to 7pm

Friday: 9am to 4pm

Update: As of March 2025 I have spaces for new enquiries. 

When life is difficult, it is often a signal that we need to pause and listen.

Discomfort, hurt and struggle are experiences that are waiting to be seen, recognised, acknowledged and loved. Like uninvited visitors, they knock on our doors saying, ‘Please let me in.’

What if you could open the door enough to glimpse the parts of you that long to be integrated? What if it were possible to give voice to those aspects of you that have been pushed away or abandoned?

This is what psychotherapy can offer – a creative space in which you can learn to listen deeply to all the facets of who you are. In a trusting, respectful and genuine human relationship, you and I can walk side by side to find a way to your authentic self.

Are we going to be a good fit?

My approach will likely suit you if:

• you are interested in learning new things about yourself
• you are curious to examine how you think and perceive and are open to trying new ways of responding
• you would consider engaging in the therapeutic process outside of our sessions, through reflection and observation
• you would consider looking at your past to see how your previous experience influences your present situation
• you are open to being challenged sometimes, in ways that are respectful, tolerable and don’t feel overwhelming
• you are open to working at depth, rather than looking for a ‘quick fix’

The initial session will give you a sense of how I work. We will talk about your goals and get a clearer idea of the direction of therapy. There is no commitment at this point, and at the end of the session you can either decide to come back for more sessions, take some time to consider options or choose to work with somebody else.

Connection is key

As a counselling supervisor, I pay close attention to the quality of our connection. Receiving supervision can bring up feelings of nervousness, and having someone ‘looking over your shoulder’ can feel exposing. It is crucial that you feel able to discuss any concerns, conflicts or difficulties without having to filter anything out. This is why I pay particular attention to the atmosphere and quality of the supervisory relationship.

I practice relational supervision, which emphasizes the fact that the way we are with each other determines the effectiveness of supervision. Just as a strong client-therapist relationship is key to successful therapy, a supportive and trusting relationship is most helpful in supervision.

The Relational Matrix model

In my supervision work, I apply the Relational Matrix model, which focuses on several key aspects:

Connection: I prioritise building a strong and supportive connection

Understanding: I work collaboratively with you to ensure we share a clear understanding of your goals for supervision

Context: I recognize the importance of the context in which counselling occurs and take into account the cultural systems of the client, yourself and the organisation within which counselling takes place

Mutual agreement: I strive to establish a clear agreement for the supervisory relationship to ensure a safe and productive space for learning.

Feel free to contact me for an initial supervision session. This meeting will give you a sense of how I work and what style of supervision you can expect. We will talk about your needs in supervision and see how we could best work together.
