What makes my practice special is the importance I place on building a genuine, trusting relationship where you feel comfortable to be yourself, without fear of judgement. I bring warmth, empathy, curiosity and a genuine interest in understanding each person as an individual. My previous experience in education, alongside my own personal journey, has shaped my understanding of how our experiences, relationships and early life messages influence who we become and how we navigate the world.
I believe counselling is more than simply talking about difficulties. It's about feeling heard, making sense of your experiences, developing self-awareness and discovering new ways of understanding yourself. I value working collaboratively, at your pace, recognising that you are the expert in your own life.
I hope to offer something meaningful: a space where you feel accepted, understood and supported, with the opportunity to explore, grow and make changes that feel right for you.

Treatment Approach
- Gestalt Therapy Encourages awareness of thoughts, feelings, and actions in the present moment. It helps people integrate different parts of themselves for wholeness.
- Integrative Therapy Combines techniques from multiple approaches into a customized plan. It adapts to each client’s unique situation and needs.
- Transactional Analysis Explores interactions through the lens of Parent, Adult, and Child roles. It aims to improve communication and self-awareness.
- Transpersonal Therapy Integrates spirituality and higher states of consciousness with psychology. It encourages growth beyond the individual self.
Approach Description: My counselling approach is integrative, relational and person centered. I draw on different therapeutic approaches, including Person-Centred Therapy, Gestalt and Transactional Analysis, tailoring my work to your individual needs and experiences. I offer an accepting, open and warm space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings and experiences, develop greater self-awareness and understand how past experiences and relationship patterns may influence the way you see yourself and relate to others. I believe that through understanding, acceptance and gentle exploration, we can begin to recognise unhelpful patterns, build self-understanding and explore change.
