Hi,
I’m Bella.
Therapy is where you don’t have to do it alone. A space to feel heard, seen, and met. Let’s walk this together.
I am a qualified relational humanistic psychotherapist, which means my priority is nurturing a genuine, trusting, and safe connection with you. Therapy with me is about creating a space that holds you - one that feels real, warm, and human. My work is grounded in my humanistic values of empathy, attunement, and presence.
At the core, I believe the most important thing is that we’re just two people meeting and connecting as humans. You’re invited to share your whole self in a validating environment - even those parts you might carry shame about. Shame begins to lose its grip when it’s spoken aloud, so let’s meet what’s been hidden, side by side.
I’m committed to offering a therapeutic space that is welcoming, inclusive, and affirms all identities, neurotypes, and ways of being. I am dedicated to anti-oppressive practice and work with an awareness of how social systems such as racism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, and sexism impact wellbeing and lived experience. I work in a way that celebrates neurodivergence, deeply valuing the richness and diversity of minds and experiences you bring. However you show up, I’ll meet you with openness, respect, care, and cultural humility.
Supporting those who feel a bit adrift in life is close to my heart because I’ve been there - feeling lost, isolated, and unsure how to move forward. My personal experience means I can resonate and offer a sense of hope that better days are coming.
I'm Passionate About Supporting Young Adults - and I Welcome Clients at Any Stage of Life
While I enjoy working with people across all life stages, I have a particular passion for supporting young adults. I really do understand how confusing, stressful, and emotionally demanding this phase of life can be. It’s often a time filled with uncertainty, transitions, and pressure to figure everything out all at once - your career, your relationships, your independence, your identity, to name just a few.
Add to that the constant comparisons and competitiveness fuelled by social media, academic or career stress, and the sense that everyone else seems to be coping just fine (even if they’re not)... it can be a lot.
You’re not alone if you’re experiencing fear of failure or a sense of not being good enough - the rise in socially-prescribed perfectionism among young adults is a very real and challenging thing. Chasing your worth is exhausting. But that feeling doesn’t exist in a vacuum - it’s part of a wider cultural narrative.
Together, we can begin to untangle those messages, understand where they come from, and start rewriting the story in a way that’s actually yours.
