About me and my therapy practice

I'm an integrative counsellor, meaning that I use different therapeutic approaches depending on what issues you'd like to explore through counselling. There is no 'one size fits all' and our life experiences are unique to us, making the need to tailor my approach to you a fundamental part of the process.

The approaches I draw from are Person-centred, Psychodynamic, Cognitive behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Solution focused Therapy.

Practice description

Hello there!

I believe that everyone deserves a space that they can call their own. It is so important that we can feel safe enough to explore our thoughts, feelings, behaviours, dreams, fears and goals, with compassion and without judgement. It is possible to break unhealthy thought patterns that hold us back and cause us pain - and to reframe and challenge long-standing narratives about ourselves, or values that we've inherited that are more of a hinderance than a help.

Understanding how our experiences have shaped our lives is a major step to healing. Sometimes we carry burdens that we simply do not need, but to identify them can be a real challenge to do alone. We don't know what we don't know. I do believe that it really is possible to change our lives' direction in all the best ways, in spite of what our start to life was.

I will help you navigate the issues that you come to counselling with, by helping you become more self aware through exploring your feelings, behaviour, beliefs, worldview and obstacles in your life. My sessions are primarily led by you because you are the expert in your own life experience.

Please get in touch if this feels like something you may benefit from.

All the best!
