Often I will work with parents to support them in parenting the young people in their lives. However, I do not provide therapy for people under 20yrs.

Walk & Talk sessions are a wonderful way to connect with yourself while connecting with nature as we walk through a local park. I tailor my therapeutic approach to your needs and so will offer Walk & Talk sessions as an option, if I feel they would be a good fit for you.

Psychotherapy differs in depth and focus.
It is a holistic, relational approach that works with the whole person. I work to understand distress as shaped by stress, trauma, and life experience over time. The aim is not just symptom relief, but deeper self-understanding and lasting change.
Counselling is typically shorter-term and more present-focused, offering support and practical strategies for specific challenges.
Psychology often takes a more structured, diagnostic approach, using evidence-based methods to assess and treat symptoms and behaviours.
In essence, psychotherapy goes further beneath the surface, working with underlying patterns, not just the problems themselves.
-
Supervision is a reflective, professional space where you can think more deeply about your clinical work, develop your practice, and be supported in the complexities of being a therapist
