About me
I've been a counsellor since 2014 and all of who you are is welcome with me. Grounded in person-centred talk therapy I also work with Polyvagal Theory and Internal Family Systems. As we explore how your early years and ongoing life experience may have shaped your self-beliefs and behaviours you can move towards increased strength and resilience.
The therapeutic relationship that we create between us is where the healing takes place as you share, reflect and reframe what is going on for you. I commit to my wellbeing practices (such as swimming, yoga, breathwork and journalling) to support me in being present in my day-to-day life as well as with you in our session.
I've been on a journey of self-exploration and healing since 2001 and whilst I do the work by myself I cannot do it alone. It's the privilege of my life to walk alongside clients and offer to you the gift of therapeutic support that has been so helpful for me.
