My counselling practice is integrative; working with a foundation of Person-Centred Counselling and supported by Mental Health and Wellbeing Coaching. I offer clients a ‘whole person’ perspective, with an intention to actively listen and empathically understand the unique experiences of each individual. Together we can explore past life events, relationships and issues which impact present day wellbeing, gaining insight and clarity to take forward to thrive in a self-determined future.

It is my firm belief that my client is the expert in their own life, therefore, my practice is grounded in the stability of the therapeutic relationship between myself and my client. I strive to provide a space where clients feel safe, respected, and valued, with the freedom to express themselves openly without judgement. My purpose is to be guided by my client’s specific needs and desires for personal growth and walk alongside them on their wellbeing journey; offering appropriate tools, techniques, and resources to encourage personal development, foster self-empowerment and the motivational creation of choice.’

Our first session allows us to connect and find out how we can work together collaboratively. The relationship between therapist and client is fundamental in the therapeutic process, this is a time when my client can express what they would like to gain from counselling and I can give an overview of my work, training and experience.

After this first session, I like to give my client some time to consider if this feels like a good 'fit', before booking another session.
