I am open to flexibility depending on individual circumstances.

Finding a therapist can be a daunting task for anyone so it is important you find someone you feel comfortable with, where you can be yourself. 

As no two people are the same, I offer a confidential space where you can feel heard, seen and understood, while honouring your innate ability for personal growth as we explore your inner world in a safe, supportive and non-judgmental manner.

Having worked with children and young adults and with a background in arts, theatre and film. I have gained invaluable experience working with people from a wide cross section of society.

As a dedicated integrative counsellor, my approach is holistic meaning I use components from different therapeutic models such as Person-centred, CBT and Psychodynamic designed to supportyour mental, emotional, and physical well-being.

My work is predominantly client-led as I believe you are the expert on your life, however, to help you, I will challenge perceptions you hold about yourself, others and the world, which may be undermining your ability for growth and expansion.

My approach is dynamic and interactive using imagination, memory and visualisation.

Other influences include Gestalt techniques, Internal Family Systems (IFS), the breath, the mind body connection and the transpersonal. 

Working creatively and at your pace, I use appropriate techniques to help uncover the root cause of any difficulty you may be facing in your life or relationships, shifting unhelpful patterns in the process .

Exploration of your feelings will give you insight, developing your self-awareness which will enable better decision making and provide positive coping strategies.

"Until you make the unconscious conscious it will direct your life and you will call it fate"

- Carl Jung

Your first step

Before we begin, I offer a free 15-minute telephone consultation where you can discuss the challenges you are facing and desired outcomes. 

This also gives me the opportunity to answer any questions you may have, and decide together whether my approach feels right for you.

Following this, we’ll schedule your session, working collaboratively and look at ways various ways of bringing you into awareness of these challenges. 

My work is relational, meaning the quality of our relationship is essential for more positive outcomes, therefore, mutual respect, honesty and transparency is key to developing trust in the therapeutic relationship.

My unique ability to connect with clients on a deep level sets me apart as a therapist. Whenworking with you, I strive to truly see and experience the world as you do.
