My approach is warm and authentic, as well as direct (in a caring and curious way) when needed. My goal is to help you strengthen your relationships and develop/build on coping skills that you can use in your everyday life. I recognise and acknowledge that we may have different experiences and identities in terms of our race, cultural background, religion, gender identity etc. I work from an anti-oppressive, trauma-informed and intersectional feminist framework, and am LGBTIAQ+ affirmative and informed. I also work from a strengths based approach, which means we identify and build on your strengths, as well as working on things you find difficult/want to change. I incorporate a range of techniques such as CBT, DBT, ACT, CAT and Schema therapy, and will work with you to figure out which technique/s will be the most helpful.
Personal quote/statement: “I’m here to listen to you without judgement, help you understand yourself better, and support you to make changes that will help you feel more confident, happy and empowered.”

I work with children and teenagers who might be experiencing depression, anxiety, and issues with their self-esteem or relationships with other people, their bodies, and themselves.
I used to be an actor, so I like to keep a bit of creativity in my life – I’m currently writing a book (…very slowly!). I also love reading (especially fantasy and sci-fi), films, exploring new places far and wide, and playing with my greyhound who is very cute and silly.
My approach to therapy is warm, open, and honest, creating a space where young people can be themselves without judgement, even if they’re not sure who they are yet. I draw on evidence-based techniques including CBT and mindfulness, adapting them to the needs of whoever is in the room including parents/carers. This means sessions might include games, drawing, or other play-based activities. Therapy goals are always co-created with the young person, aiming to support them to flourish in their unique way.

The Owner of The Therapy Hub.
Welcome. I help teenagers and young adults who want to be happy, confident and live a meaningful life. Sometimes we’re weighed down by anxiety, stress, depression or trauma. Issues with school, work, relationships, identity, and/or self-esteem can make life difficult to enjoy. This can often leave us feeling stuck.
Life can be tough. I totally understand, and I’m here to help. Together we’ll figure out who you are, who you want to be, and how to get you there. I incorporate a range of techniques such as ACT, CBT, EMDR and mindfulness in my work to support you in this process.
What else can I tell you about myself? I’m a little bit of a nerd and don’t take myself too seriously – life’s too short! I’m your classic animal lover, especially dogs. I really love the great outdoors – hiking and camping (expect I hate mosquitoes!)
My approach to therapy is direct, yet genuine and supportive. I have a sense of humour about myself, and I encourage my clients to adopt the same attitude. I am incredibly enthusiastic and I am excited to work together and create meaningful and lasting change in your life.
Everything we talk about is just between the people in the room (unless there are safety concerns, I’ll explain all that to you in our first session). Think of me as your trusted confidant. Someone who is ready to listen, never judge – but to also be honest with you in order to bring forward positive change
‘’I’m 100% invested in this process. I am passionate about helping people feel understood and heard. Overcome past painful experiences and helping couples and families increase connection with one another.’’
