My Approach
Therapy doesn't have to be intimidating or overly serious. I believe in making complex psychological concepts accessible and engaging through creative, visual methods that help ideas stick
How I Work: My sessions are interactive, educational, and yes - they can even be fun! I use visual aids and props to help explain difficult concepts in ways that feel natural and memorable.
You might find yourself working with……
The Russian Doll - exploring how your adult self and inner child coexist, and how past experiences shape present reactions
The Poisoned Parrot - giving a name and image to that harsh inner critic we all carry, making it easier to recognise and challenge
The Crystal Ball - a gentle reminder that we can't predict the future, particularly helpful for anxiety and worry
The Loving Llama - your compassionate inner voice that can learn to speak louder than the critical parrot
The Chimp - based on Dr. Steve Peters' model from 'The Chimp Paradox', this represents your emotional, reactive self that responds with feelings rather than facts
Why This Works: These visual tools help make abstract concepts concrete. Instead of just talking about your "inner critic," you can actually see it represented by the parrot - suddenly it becomes something separate from you that you can observe and work with, rather than something that defines you.
