About Me

Listening Understanding Connecting

I became a counsellor because I’m passionate about helping people navigate life’s challenges and make sense of what they’re experiencing. I believe everyone has their own story, perspective and way of finding a path forward, and my role is to offer a space where you can explore this at your own pace.

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 without judgement. My approach is down-to-earth and real. Whether you’re facing a big life change, feeling stuck, or simply need somewhere to talk openly I aim to provide a space where you can be yourself, reflect on what’s going on and consider what might feel right for you.

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): An approach that explores how people understand themselves and others, how they relate and communicate, and the patterns that can develop in relationships.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) tools: Practical techniques that explore the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour, and encourage awareness of unhelpful thinking patterns.
Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT): An approach that focuses on your preferred future, your existing strengths and resources, and what may help you move forward.
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.
