My approach

As an Integrative Counsellor & Psychotherapist, I tailor sessions to suit your individual needs. I draw on a range of evidence-based approaches, including:

• Person-Centred Therapy

• Cognitive Behavioural Therapy

• Psychodynamic Therapy

• Transactional Analysis

This combination allows us to explore both past and present experiences, helping you understand how they may be influencing your current thoughts, feelings, and behaviours.

Sometimes, present struggles are driven by deeper-rooted events and experiences. Drawing on patterns and moving towards a level of understanding and acceptance can significantly improve mental health and wellbeing and allow you to move forward with your life.

Everyone has strength within them. Sometimes it can get lost along the way. My job is to help you find that strength once again.

I have worked within the mental health sector for over 10 years through a mixture of voluntary work, paid employment for non-profit organisations and self-employment.

I have experience supporting young people (16+) and adults facing various difficulties within their lives. I am incredibly passionate about my work and thoroughly enjoy working with people with an aim to support them to become the best version of themselves.

I am a fully accredited Counsellor and Psychotherapist with the National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society (NCPS) and work in line with their ethical framework. I am fully insured and attend monthly clinical supervision as part of my commitment to safe, ethical, and effective practice.
