About me
Counselling can be a space to slow things down and give yourself room to explore what has brought you to where you are today. My approach is about understanding the person as a whole, including the experiences, relationships and circumstances that have shaped you and the ways you have learned to cope.
I believe that looking at where things come from can be just as important as finding ways to manage what is happening now. Our work can therefore move between the two, giving you space to explore things at a deeper level while also finding practical ways to support you in everyday life.
My practice is rooted in the value of your autonomy. Our work is shaped around what feels meaningful to you, at your own pace. Together, we can explore what may have influenced how you feel and respond, gently looking deeper into the things that may have been difficult to understand or put into words.
I can draw on different therapeutic approaches, perspectives and practical tools, including CBT, mindfulness, psychoeducation, Internal Family Systems, Transactional Analysis and somatic awareness. These approaches can offer different ways of understanding yourself, alongside practical tools to support you both within and between sessions.
As a Humanistic and Person-Centred counsellor, the relationship we build is an important part of the work. I aim to offer a space where you can speak openly, be yourself and explore things at your own pace, without judgement.
You don’t need to arrive knowing exactly what you want to talk about or have everything figured out. We can start with what feels important to you and allow the work to develop from there.
