    Therapy is a collaborative process focused on understanding the patterns that contribute to emotional difficulties and developing practical, evidence-based strategies for lasting change. Sessions provide a warm, respectful and compassionate therapeutic relationship where you can explore your experiences at your own pace. The approach emphasises meaningful change beginning with understanding, and working together to make sense of what's happening so you can build resilience and move towards the life you want. The psychologist draws on experience in both private practice and acute mental health settings to tailor support to your individual needs.
