About me
I’m an experienced, trauma-informed counsellor offering talk therapy in a relaxed, non-judgemental environment. My approach is rooted in empathy and a deep commitment to the therapeutic relationship.
Along the way, you’ll build new tools and resources to bring into everyday life, helping you feel more calm, safe, and connected.
How I work:
My approach is rooted in empathy and a deep commitment to the therapeutic relationship.
I incorporate deep and active listening with a range of different therapeutic approaches. You may choose to bring in parts work, look at attachment styles, or other creative interventions. This is held within a safe and confidential space to enable you to explore and become curious about the challenges that you may be facing.
I am also trained as a breathwork practitioner so it is likely we will work with the body as well as the mind. This is done in a deeply collaborative way to help you find your unique roadmap to personal wellbeing.
Along the way, you’ll build new tools and resources you can bring into everyday life to feel more calm, safe, and connected.
An informal introduction:
I offer a free 20-minute consultation (phone or online) so you can get a feel for whether it feels right to work together.
