I am currently available on Fridays afternoons

I am a qualifed accredited Integrative Therapist who offers a warm, empathic relationship where I ensure that you feel heard, accepted and respected, but also challenged. My work supports you to explore your own thoughts, feelings and emotions whilst also providing insights to catalyze change.

My passion is in supporting others discover their own potential. You may be feeling unsure or have a reached a point in your life where you are seeking ways to feel able to live, rather than merely exist. While I may not be able to provide answers or solutions, I may be able to sit beside you whilst you seek the answers and solutions that are functional, sustainable and make sense to you. 

I offer both long term and open ended contracts. As an integrative therapist, I tailor my approach according to your unique history, needs and preferred style of support. The approach that I take is to be collaborative and client led, meaning that I will follow your lead in terms of direction but may redirect you in line with your goals. In our sessions, I'll want to learn about how you perceive yourself and the world around you and exploring both present and past. 

I draw from a variety of psychotherapeutic principles including person-centred, psychodynamic, existential, cognitive-behavioural, solution-focused therapy and more. Rather than being bound to a singular modality, I tend to blend theories and interventions into our work in a way that is relevant and helpful to you.

My aim is to support you in deepening your understanding of yourself and the the world around you and to inspire change to live more authentically. As I believe that you are the expert of your own life, I will support you by providing a space to reflect and challenge yourself by asking questions to make sense of your experiences.

I have supported clients from a variety of backgrounds work through anxiety, depression, loss and grief, relationship difficulties, low-self worth/self-esteem,  navigating transitional periods in life and adjusting to life with neurodivergent diagnoses.

Our first session will feel different from subsequent sessions due to this being an assessment session where we will discuss what brought you to counselling and expectations for therapy. This will be an opportunity for us to think about how we might be able to work together and for you to ask any questions you might have.

I will lead with fact-finding questions to learn about you, your experiences and your needs which will then be held in mind as I tailor my approach according to your unique history and set goals. Once we have contracted and agreed on an arrangement regarding the day, time and format of our sessions, sessions will be led by you for the most part, where we can reflect and discuss what feels most pressing to you at that time.
