About me
I never thought about counselling, I just got on with it and wondered why I struggled with the simple things so much. After successful treatment, I realised I wanted to help others to free themselves. So if you are struggling like I was please reach out.
Together, we will create a trusting, authentic relationship, where you will be supported and encouraged to explore approaches that you feel will work best for you.
We can explore what you are experiencing, understand patterns that may be keeping you stuck, develop practical coping strategies and work towards greater confidence, emotional wellbeing and a stronger sense of control. You may only want to be truly listened to without judgement, or you may choose to explore the subconscious with something creative, or calm the nervous system with gentle somatic techniques. We will attend to your needs in the moment.
Using a person-centred approach as the foundation of my practice, I incorporate creative interventions where appropriate to support your individual needs. Drawing on a range of therapeutic modalities, I tailor my approach to you, by blending holistic, evidence-based interventions. Ensuring therapy is collaborative, flexible, and responsive to your unique needs.
What I can help you with:
Are you struggling with…
Feeling down, flat, hopeless, empty, or unlike yourself?
Losing interest or enjoyment in things you usually love?
Constant worry, anxiety, panic, or fear of losing control?
Feeling nervous, self-conscious, or afraid of being judged?
Unwanted or upsetting thoughts, memories, images, urges, sounds, or sensations?
Feeling on edge, unsafe, overwhelmed, or unable to cope?
