My Approach
Feeling isolated, stuck, numb or in distress? Struggling with past experiences affecting your current connections? Close relationships lacking depth or intimacy? Or following a similar destructive pattern? Wrestling with worthlessness or asserting yourself? Facing a new crisis or transition?
Counselling can help remedy these issues. I specialise in exploring relationships, addressing communication challenges, conflicts, intimacy issues, family dynamics and self-improvement. My compassionate, non-judgmental, client-centred approach creates a warm, inclusive, respectful and confidential space. ​In our sessions, we'll collaborate to explore your thoughts, feelings and experiences, identifying patterns impacting your relationships. Counselling helps understand these patterns and develop new ways of relating and enhancing self-awareness.
We are shaped by our social contexts and our sense of self is linked to our relationships.​ As an integrative counsellor, I draw on various theories and modalities, taking a keen interest in how trauma and emotion can become stuck within the body causing physical distress and symptoms ranging from numbness to panic. Other modalities include humanistic, psychodynamic, Gestalt, relational, trauma-informed, attachment theory, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and inner child work, as well as CBT techniques where appropriate. Currently, I work with individuals only.
I work with adult individuals from diverse backgrounds, addressing a wide range of issues. As a fully qualified counsellor with an Advanced Diploma in Humanistic Integrative Counselling, I am a Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and adhere to its code of ethics. The BACP is accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA), which ensures high standards and safety for the public.
