Values
From a tender age, I have been curious about and intrigued by the inner landscapes of other people, and exploring how they live their lives externally and internally. This curiosity led me into the realms of psychology and philosophy, self-expression through art and writing and poetry, and these are still all things I spend much of my time engaging with. I have always been a sensitive and empathic person, sensitive to the beauty in life, and sensitive to its sorrows. I believe in confronting all parts of our human experience as a way to flourish in our lives, and this confrontation can be gentle, soulful and collaborative. As a client, through the years I have found myself working best with therapists who have a holistic approach, who hold and explore difficult questions alongside me, and who look beyond surface circumstances to uncover more subtle or nuanced things. This is the therapist I strive to be.

Experience
My studies in Psychology provided me with a great introduction to the theory and science of human minds and behaviour. Later, my Art Therapy studies offered a completely different perspective on therapy; emphasising all that lies around our words, and the power of art processes to cut through to the essence of our experience. Finally, pursuing my Masters in Psychotherapy was the culmination and deepening of my higher education journey. This integrated my skills and philosophies and developed my integrative, multi-modal approach as a practitioner.
