About me

I am an Integrative Counsellor with a compassionate, empathic, and non-judgemental approach to therapy. I offer both in-person and online sessions, and my work is focused on creating a safe space where you can explore your feelings, thoughts, and behaviours at your own pace.

Neurodivergence

In addition to my professional training, I have personal and professional experience working with neurodivergent individuals. This has given me valuable insight into the unique challenges that neurodivergent people face, as well as the strengths they bring to therapy. I strive to be inclusive and supportive, adapting my approach to best meet the needs of clients with a range of neurodivergent traits, whether it's related to autism, ADHD, or other neurodivergent conditions.

Collaborative

I believe that therapy should be a collaborative process, where we work together to understand the root causes of your concerns, and develop practical strategies to help you manage and navigate life more effectively. Whether you're experiencing low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, stress, or relationship difficulties, I am here to provide support tailored to your individual needs.

Practice Description

As an Integrative Counsellor, I draw from a range of therapeutic approaches and techniques, tailoring them to your individual needs and goals. This flexibility allows me to adapt my approach to best support you, ensuring that our work together is personalised and meets you where you are in your journey.

People come to therapy for many reasons, whether it's to work through low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, stress, relationship issues, or simply to gain clarity and better understand themselves. Whatever your reason for seeking support, I am here to work with you collaboratively, exploring your concerns and helping you find practical ways to move forward.

Each session is 50 minutes long, and I work at a pace that feels right for you, ensuring you always feel supported and comfortable throughout our work together.

Whether you choose in-person sessions in Boughton-under-Blean or prefer online sessions via Zoom, I offer a calm, compassionate environment to support you as you navigate your way towards a clearer, more balanced sense of well-being.

Our First Session

The first session is an important opportunity for us to start to get to know each other and begin exploring the reason you’ve decided to seek counselling. During this session, we will focus on understanding how your current concerns are affecting your life, as well as what you would like to achieve through our work together. This helps us build a clear foundation for our sessions moving forward.

Together, we will discuss your goals for counselling, and I will guide you in identifying how we can best approach our work together in a way that feels comfortable and supportive for you. It’s a collaborative process that aims to give you an understanding of how therapy can be structured to meet your needs and what you can expect from our time together.

This initial session is a chance for you to ask any questions and share what feels most important to you, ensuring that you feel confident and comfortable with how we move forward.
