I offer a safe space where you will be heard and supported. A space free of judgement, where I will listen and be alongside you on your journey. I will help you – empathically and with acceptance – to explore whatever it is that brings you to therapy.

​

I believe in the collaborative nature of counselling and encourage feedback to ensure that you feel that your needs are being met. Central to my work is the relationship between client and therapist and this is key to effective therapy. 

​

As an integrative therapist trained in CBT, psychodynamic and person-centred theories, it allows me to draw on those elements which would be most helpful for you. This may include helping you to explore past events and relationships and gaining insight, or it might be working out ways to help you manage your day to day life.

​

Working within a trauma informed lens, I have a deep understanding about creating safety within the body and regulating the nervous system. Where appropriate and with client consent, I can incorporate psycho-education around the nervous system in to sessions, explain the importance of Polyvagal Theory (PVT) and learn ways to help regulate the body so that it feels safe. From here the client can start to increase their tolerance of what they are able to feel and start to process past experiences integrating them in to the whole to allow you to move forward in life.
