Space for Clarity, Confidence, and Growth

I work with people who feel stuck or overwhelmed.

You may find yourself caught in repeating patterns, feeling a frustrating gap between what you know in your head and what you feel in your body, or that things are just too much.

My belief is that these feelings are often sane, logical responses to your life experiences.

Our work together is to understand the unconscious ‘scripts’ you learned to live by. The aim is to move towards a life that feels more authentic and is guided by your own sense of meaning.

If this resonates, the next step is a free 15-minute chat to see if we’re a good fit.

Clinical Supervision for UK Counsellors & Psychotherapists

My supervision addresses the three core domains of a thriving practice: your clinical work, your business, and you as the practitioner. We work to deepen your confidence with complex cases, build the boundaries for a practice that sustains you financially and personally, and make space for your own experience as the person at the heart of the work.
