Welcome to my website

​

My approach is genuine, warm and human. Building a trusting therapeutic relationship is at the heart of how I work. I want you to feel able to be yourself, explore things openly and, through greater understanding and self-awareness, feel increasingly empowered in the present moment.

​

Well done for being open to embracing therapy and change – it takes courage.

I believe in looking at each person holistically – getting to know you as a whole person, understanding where you are now, the unique experiences that have shaped you, and how your past may still be influencing how you feel, relate and live today.

My main approach is integrative counselling, drawing on person-centred and psychodynamic therapy. This allows us to explore and understand how your past may have shaped you, while also focusing on what you are experiencing and what you may want to change in your life now.

​

When we work together, I am dedicated to getting to know you and your unique life experiences in depth, so that we can tailor therapy to you as an individual. There is no one-size-fits-all approach.

Together, we can begin to understand patterns, experiences or parts of yourself that you may not previously have been fully aware of, alleviate the impact that past experiences may still be having, and explore new ways of being.

It can be quite a journey – often moving, profound and empowering. My style combines warmth with genuine curiosity, helping you reconnect with your authentic self while supporting growth and change in the here and now.

There are many different reasons people come to therapy, and you don’t need to have everything figured out before you begin. It is completely okay for things to feel unclear at the start. Often, it is through therapy that we develop a deeper understanding of ourselves and what we need.

I also have additional training in clinical hypnotherapy, which can be incorporated into our work where appropriate and if it feels right for you. Alongside counselling and conscious exploration, hypnotherapy can offer another way of working to encourage more positive thoughts, feelings and patterns.

Through therapy, we can begin to heal from past experiences while also creating space for personal growth, greater freedom and expression in the present.

Ultimately, I hope to help you reconnect with your authentic self, feel more empowered in your life now, and move towards the person you want to be.

 

I am also trained as a Children & Young Person's Counsellor (11+). I am mindful to be genuine to help young people build trust, so they can become comfortable to do emotional processing. I'm motivated to ultimately help them to feel more empowered and build their confidence.
