My training as an Integrative psychotherapeutic counsellor means that I draw on a range of theories and concepts to understand what it means to be human. I believe that the relationships we have in our lives shape who we are and how we experience the world. When we experience trauma, oppression, loss or another adverse life experience it can impact our growth. Together, we can explore what may be inhibiting you.

I am passionate that change is possible, authentic, warm, curious and I enjoy working collaboratively. I will share information that I draw from to support my practice such as Attachment theory, neuroscience - the impact of trauma on the brain and somatic experiences (what we hold in our bodies as a result of adverse life experiences). I recognise that it takes courage to begin counseling and I never lose sight of how intimidating it can be to share your pain.

In our therapeutic relationship, you can expect honesty, confidentiality, and a safe environment to explore your feelings, thoughts, and beliefs. I will listen to how you experience the world and work with you to explore your relationship with yourself, and others past and present.

Your first session is for us to see if we might work well together, to understand what brings you to therapy and gather information on your relationships both past and present. Whilst this session is treated as your first session with me, I will check in with you to see how it has felt and together we can make a plan to continue or if it doesn’t feel right there is no obligation for you to commit to weekly sessions.
