How I work and my approach
I’m an integrative counsellor, which means I draw on different types of counselling, depending on what feels most helpful for you. I use a blend of approaches, including psychodynamic, which explores how our past can influence us today; person-centred, which provides a supportive space to better understand yourself; and CBT, which focuses on the connection between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. I also use creative approaches where helpful, particularly when feelings are difficult to put into words.
What to expect
People come to counselling for many different reasons. Some want to better understand themselves and make sense of patterns that keep showing up in their lives. Others may be struggling with anxiety, stress, low mood, relationship difficulties, or feeling stuck and overwhelmed. Whatever brings you here, we’ll work together to explore it at a pace that feels right for you.
How I might be able to help
I see counselling as a collaborative process. Rather than telling you what to do, I’ll work alongside you, helping you make sense of your thoughts, feelings and experiences. Together, we can explore the stories you hold about yourself, the beliefs you’ve picked up along the way, and the patterns that may no longer be serving you.
Alongside empathy and a non-judgmental space, I also believe there is room for humour, creativity and gentle challenge. Counselling doesn’t always have to feel heavy. Sometimes moments of lightness can help us see things differently and open up new possibilities for change.
Whether you’re coming to counselling feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, uncertain, or simply curious, you’re welcome here.
