About me

I believe that your therapy journey is as unique as you are.

I have found that a "one-size-fits-all" approach simply doesn't work in therapy. 
As an integrative counsellor, I draw upon my diverse expertise and extensive qualifications to provide flexible and highly personalised therapeutic support that truly meets your specific needs. 

This means our work together will be specifically for you, ensuring you receive the most effective and relevant guidance.

The core of my practice is a deep commitment to creating a safe, empathic, and non-judgmental environment. This is a space where you can openly explore anything on your mind, your feelings, past experiences and current challenges. You will feel truly accepted and understood. 

This secure foundation empowers your own process of discovery and healing.

My approach is highly personalised, drawing from evidence-based methods such as Person-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy. 

My extensive experience across various complex areas means I can genuinely understand and support you through life's most difficult moments. 

My role as your therapist is to walk alongside you, fostering your own process of discovery and empowerment.
