Empowering Healing through a Holistic Approach

As a trauma-informed integrative counsellor, I specialise in working with adults, children, and young people (CYP) who have experienced trauma. My practice is rooted in a person-centred approach, ensuring that each session is tailored to meet the unique needs of my clients. By fostering a safe and empathetic environment, I empower clients to explore their feelings and experiences at their own pace.

Drawing from a rich toolkit of therapeutic modalities, I seamlessly integrate elements of Transactional Analysis (TA), psychodynamic therapy, and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). This versatility allows me to adapt my methods to best support each client's journey towards healing and growth.

Whether it's addressing the complexities of trauma, navigating emotional challenges, or building coping strategies, my approach is holistic and client-centred. Together, we work towards unlocking the potential for self-awareness, resilience, and lasting change.

Welcome to My Counselling Practice

In my practice, I offer a compassionate and supportive environment for clients of all ages, with a particular focus on children, young people (CYP), and adults who have experienced trauma. As an integrative counsellor, my approach is deeply rooted in person-centred therapy, ensuring that each session is uniquely tailored to meet the individual needs of my clients.

My practice is enriched by incorporating a variety of therapeutic modalities, including Transactional Analysis (TA), psychodynamic therapy, and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). This integrative method allows me to provide a comprehensive and flexible approach to therapy, adapting to the evolving needs of each client.

Currently, I am both self-employed as an adult and children’s counsellor and I am employed as a CYP counsellor. Due to high demand, I am available for online counselling sessions every Friday. This arrangement offers the convenience and accessibility of receiving support from the comfort of your own space.

Clients can expect a warm, empathetic, and non-judgmental environment where they can explore their thoughts and feelings freely. My goal is to empower clients to build resilience, gain insights, and embark on a journey towards healing and personal growth

Overview of the First Counselling Session

During our initial session, we will embark on a collaborative journey to understand your unique needs and goals for counselling. This first meeting is designed to set a solid foundation for our therapeutic relationship and ensure that you feel comfortable and supported throughout the process.

Assessment and Goals

We will begin with an assessment, where I will ask you to share a bit about yourself and the reasons why you are seeking counselling. This helps me to understand your background, experiences, and any specific challenges you may be facing. Together, we will explore what you hope to gain from counselling and identify your goals for our sessions.

Establishing a Plan

We will discuss how many sessions you may need to achieve your goals and create a flexible plan that accommodates your schedule and preferences. Whether it's short-term support or a longer-term commitment, we will tailor the plan to suit your individual needs.

Professional Relationship and Boundaries

An important part of our first session is to establish a clear and professional therapeutic relationship. We will discuss and agree upon the boundaries that will help maintain a safe and respectful environment for both of us. This includes setting expectations for confidentiality, communication, and mutual respect.

Creating a Supportive Space

Throughout the session, my aim is to create a warm and empathetic space where you feel heard and understood. Your comfort and trust are paramount, and I am here to support you every step of the way.
