About me
I work face-to-face and online with individuals over 18.
My counselling approach is integrative, meaning I draw from various therapeutic theories and ways of working.
This allows me to adapt our sessions to your individual needs and preferences so that the time we have together is as helpful as possible.
I will tailor the sessions to your needs. Aside from empathic listening, gentle exploration and support to reflect, I may offer exercises that aid:
- emotional grounding and regulation
- processing and managing anger
- effective communication
- working with negative automatic thoughts
practicing self-compassion or identifying - understanding and accessing underlying emotions.
I believe that you are the expert of your own experience. I will support you to build self-acceptance, have compassion for yourself and understand yourself more fully.
