COUNSELLING

People come to therapy for many different reasons - to better manage daily life, to process difficult experiences, to adjust to significant life changes, to explore challenges in their relationships, or to reconnect with themselves and what's important to them. People also come not knowing exactly why they want from therapy but sensing the space could be of some use. Whatever the circumstances that bring you here, I will offer a compassionate and non-judgmental space for you to explore your experience in a way that feels meaningful and helpful. 

​

I am trained integratively and draw on various models and theories to find a way of working that suits you, your preferences, and what you want from therapy. In sessions I may offer reflections, insights, challenges, creative means of expression, and experiments to help you explore your experience. These are offered in a collaborative spirit, inviting you to consider how useful or feasible they feel in the moment. This process, over time, helps us build our way of working together. Time and again I've witnessed this reorient people to a way of being that feels authentic and meaningful, facilitating new perspectives and lasting change. 

​

I work in a 'trauma-informed' way, having undertook additional CPD around safely working with trauma. This means I carry an understanding of the potential impact of trauma on an individual's experience and am able to work safely, sensitively, and compassionately with people's experience of trauma. ​
