Hi, I'm Bella! 

 

I’m 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. 

 

You’re invited to share your whole self in a validating environment - even those parts you might carry shame about. Shame begins to loosen its hold when it’s spoken aloud, so let’s meet what’s been hidden, side by side. 

I’m committed to offering an inclusive, affirming space for all identities, neurotypes, and ways of being. I am dedicated to anti-oppressive practice and work with an awareness of how social systems like racism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, and sexism shape lived experience. I celebrate 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. 

 

Special Interest 

 

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 – filled with uncertainty, transitions, and pressure to figure everything out 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 feeling stuck, afraid of failure, or like you’re not measuring up. 

 

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.
