My therapy style -

A humanistic practitioner who's passionate about humans!

I aim to strike a balance between providing a warm, comfortable environment but also challenging when needed. Therapy can be confronting and it's for me it's important to provide a space for emotions to feel welcome but also to allow for the necessary reflection and (sometimes uncomfortable) growth and accountability.

I work with a person-centred focus but also draw upon coaching strategies and experiential healing techniques to fit whatever is most relevant to you and your needs. You're always in the drivers seat, and I see my role as the passenger holding a map and suggesting routes.

About my training -

I completed my degree in Humanistic Counselling Practice at the University of Nottingham and further training in Psychosexual Therapy with the Grove, accredited by COSRT at Level 5

I have 2 years experience working in schools with children and young people, and 6 years experience working as a therapist/coach both in private practice and with an agency specialising in Trauma.

I work from a person-centred base which means I believe every person has an innate desire to self actualise - move towards their own unique solution based on their own unique experiences. You are the expert of your story and my job is to support you to get a deeper sense of yourself and the world from different perspectives.

Life carries many challenges and we can often get stuck without always knowing why or how, as much of what causes our troubles can often be subconscious. We often carry a lot of unhelpful narratives, shame and expectations from life but therapy can be extremely powerful to help you work through whatever is coming up for you in a supportive environment and make the unconscious, conscious.

I offer a free 20 minute consultation to give us a chance to connect and break the ice! Finding the right therapist is such a personal decision and I find it works best to get a feel for each other straight off the bat with zero pressure. 

We can discuss what's going on with you, what brings you to therapy and if you've had therapy before, as well as giving you the opportunity to ask me any questions and find out logistical things before going forward.

I'll then send a counselling agreement and a booking link with live availability for you to choose from.
