As a Highly Sensitive Person myself, I understand the depth of feeling and the rich inner world that can sometimes feel overwhelming.

My own journey through life as a sensitive person has shaped my approach as an IFS Practitioner, creating a space where you can bring your whole self.

Are you ready to explore a space where you can be fully seen and understood, allowing you to work through what is holding you back?

Picture a therapy session where you can be yourself, without the need to hide any part of you.

One of the most important aspects of our work together is that you won’t have to worry about being judged.

My clients often share that they feel a deep sense of relief when they realise they can talk to me about things they’ve never felt comfortable discussing before.

Whether it’s your lifestyle, identity, or past experiences, you can trust that I’ll approach it with openness and respect.

I’m neurodiversity and LGBTQ+ affirming. I’m also experienced with working with topics related to ethical non-monogamy and being child-free. Many of my clients find themselves in the intersection of queer and neurodivergent (HSP/Autistic/ADHD/gifted).

What happens in therapy?

In our sessions, we’ll get to know different parts of you, starting with the ones that work hard to keep you safe by managing your life and sometimes showing up in extreme ways.

As we build a relationship with these parts, you’ll begin to understand their intentions and how they’re trying to help you. Together, we’ll create ways to ease their burden, so they don’t have to work as hard.

With time and trust, we can gently approach the younger parts of you that may still be stuck in painful moments from the past, offering them the healing they need.

Throughout therapy, we’ll move at a pace that feels comfortable for you, allowing your inner world to unfold naturally – without pressure or expectation.

Long-Term Support for Deep Transformation

I specialise in working with clients who feel ready for in-depth therapy. I typically collaborate with clients for six months or longer, as meaningful, lasting change takes time.

More about me as a person

It’s important to find a therapist that you connect with on a personal level too, so here’s a little about me to help you get a sense of who I am.

Ever since I was young, I always wanted to travel the world and live abroad. I’m originally from Finland but have spent the last 16 years abroad, mostly in the UK and in Sweden. My favourite travel experiences have been my trips to different parts of Africa, particularly East Africa, where I got to go a lot when I worked in global health. I especially love the people and nature in Rwanda.

I feel a special connection with animals and have two rescue dogs from Spain. I like gardening, foraging, doing pottery, and I regularly escape into films and quiz shows such as University Challenge.

I’ve always been fascinated by human behaviour in extreme conditions – I love strategy-based games and shows such as Survivor and The Traitors, and shows about relationship experiments like Love is Blind and Married at First Sight.

I don’t follow any particular religion but I would describe myself as spiritual. Over the years, I’ve studied and explored different non-dual traditions including Buddhism and Kashmir Shaivism.
