About Me

Listening Understanding Connecting

I became a counsellor because I’m passionate about helping people navigate challenges and improve wellbeing. I aim to create a supportive space where clients feel heard, understood, and encouraged to explore their own paths forward.

I believe in the power of connection not as an expert with all the answers, but as a fellow human being who’s here to listen deeply and support your growth. Every person carries their own story, and I hold that with respect and warmth. My approach is gentle, down-to-earth, and real. Whether you’re facing a big life change, feeling stuck, or simply looking for a place to be yourself I’m here to create a space where healing and self-discovery can unfold naturally.

I support people navigating a range of personal challenges, including anxiety, stress, relationship difficulties, and life transitions. You can read more about the areas I work with on my Services page.

My Counselling Approach

I work as an integrative counsellor which means that I draw on a range of therapeutic models to tailor my approach to suit you. At the heart of my work is a Person Centred approach which values empathy, congruence (authenticity) and unconditional positive regard. I believe that every person has the inner resources for growth and change.

While Person Centred theory forms the foundation of my practice I also incorporate techniques and insights from other therapeutic models:

Transactional Analysis (TA): I use TA to help you explore your relationship with yourself and others, notice patterns that might be holding you back, and find ways to build more authentic, fulfilling connections.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) tools: I sometimes use specific CBT techniques to help you notice unhelpful thinking patterns and explore ways to shift them, supporting clearer thinking and practical coping strategies.
Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT): This approach helps you focus on your strengths, resources, and what’s already working in your life. By looking forward, we can explore practical steps to create positive change and improve your current situation.
I also incorporate psychoeducation into my work as a counsellor. This involves sharing relevant psychological processes such as how anxiety works in the body, what’s happening during a stress response or why certain patterns might be repeating. Some clients find that understanding why they feel or respond in certain ways helps reduce confusion or self blame, and gives a clearer sense of control.
