I have been trained in an integrative therapeutic approach, incorporating person centred, cognitive, psychodynamic, spiritual and transcultural approaches. 

This allows me to adapt to your needs along your counselling journey. The foundation of my approach is through trauma informed, compassionate curiosity, genuineness, and empathy, to create an empathic, safe, and non-judgemental space.

What I can help you with:

I offer an opportunity to explore personal difficulties in a safe,  confidential, non-judgemental and supportive environment.

Through compassion and curiosity we will explore your current values, self-beliefs, perceptions, behaviours and thought patterns, to bring awareness and insight into the difficulties you are experiencing.
