Specialising in humanistic integrative therapy, my work is rooted in a person-centred way. We can also draw upon other theories and approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Transactional Analysis, Psychodynamic, Attachment Theory and Gestalt, to further our understanding of your current feelings, thoughts and behaviours whilst being held in a compassionate and holding environment. 

I am here to listen to you. 

I provide a safe and confidential space to explore and understand your current situation without judgment. Drawing on past experiences and relationships with others, we can explore and deepen your understanding and sense of self. Applying the right psychological approach unique to you will allow for further self-awareness.

We can work together in addressing and unravelling situations that may feel unmanageable.

I work with adults of all ages, backgrounds and identities and have a deep level of understanding regarding culture, neglect, oppression and racism.

I currently offer online short-term counselling via Zoom and will soon be providing open-ended and face to face sessions too.

During our first session we will explore your reasons for coming to therapy and discuss if there is anything you would like to focus on and how you might like to work together moving forward. It is a chance for us to get to know each other and for me to understand your needs and expectations of the therapy.

I would usually ask that you sign an agreement that we'll discuss within the session, which outlines my responsibilities as the counsellor and yours as the client. I offer short and long term therapy which is dependent on your current situation and can be agreed during this session.
