Counsellor Profile

As an Integrative Counsellor, I draw on many different counselling theories and ways of working in order to meet your needs as an individual. My aim is to be present for you in a way that is non-judgmental and accepting and feels safe as we explore your issues together.

We all have the potential within us for growth and finding the way ahead, given the right conditions.

We grow to know ourselves more fully when in touch with the whole of ourselves: mind, emotions, body, energy, and even spirit; and within the context of a relationship.

Relationship is at the heart of what it is to be human. Whilst past relationships may have felt damaging to us or cause us to feel stuck in our ways, current relationships can be the medium for healing and change. In counselling this relationship is boundaried and needs to feel safe.

A sense of safety is vital. I work a lot with trauma and abuse issues where safety and trust is of paramount importance. I honour the ways you protect and resource yourself, and sometimes we need support to find new ways that also are empowering.

I enjoy working creatively (including Gestalt) but am sensitive to your individual preferences.
