‘What you seek is seeking you'

I'm here to go on a journey of exploration with you. Being a seeker, I have needed others to help and guide me along my path, some that I have chosen and others not. As your counsellor, I can accompany you and we can explore, understand and possibly heal from the challenges and obstacles you've had to face. I draw on both my lived and counselling experiences in adapting my approach to every person I meet, working together towards finding that inner peace we are all searching for.

When we are in a shared space, feeling safe and trusting, there is no topic, no experience, no feeling that we "mustn't" talk about. We can lift the veils and talk freely, be it, sexuality, gender, religion/spirituality, love, there's no judgement on my part. There's no fear in bringing diversity into our sessions and although my approach is predominantly Person Centred and Psychodynamic, I've recently been expanding and implementing different styles to find one that reflects the process.

Also, having worked in the fitness industry for several years now, I believe in a holistic approach aligning the mind, body and soul. If you've read this far and would like a free call, for up to 15 minutes, then please reach out. 

Having supervised a range of professionals including Breastfeeding Counsellors, Lactation Consultants, Antenatal Practitioners and Therapeutic Counsellors, my preference is to work alongside colleagues, to find a collaborative approach that best suits our needs, both as part of our career development as well as case by case needs at that time.

I am more than happy and in fact value both the learning and the challenge of working alongside people who might have a different approach to my own. As you can see from my profile, I have adapted my counselling style and also adapt my supervision approach depending on the context we happen to find ourselves in. I welcome all Counsellors/Therapists as I strongly believe, if we can develop a trusting, professional relationship, we can work creatively and effectively together and both develop in our roles.

I value every opportunity to connect and develop both personally and professionally and would love to be able to support anyone who wants to join me (and I join them) in our privileged position of bringing some ease into the lives of those individuals that choose to work with us.

I welcome those in training or qualified/experienced counsellors as I strongly believe we can always learn from each other and use these opportunities to extend ourselves.
