My person-centred modality carries the core belief that we are all born innately good. Things happen to us along our journey in life. Learnt behaviour and experiences shape our thoughts and feelings in our development. We can repeat our reactions to circumstances when they occur in adulthood. We can become unconscious of our behaviours because of the busy lives we lead. It's as if our experiences stick to us like "papier mache' " in the developmental years, forming a different self. This can be an uncomfortable and unwelcome reality that we want to change in adulthood or when it becomes painful, but we often do not know how to.

I hold an Advanced Diploma in Humanistic Integrative Counselling and have worked in mental health since 2016, providing support within both the NHS and third-sector organisations. I believe that a strong therapeutic relationship is fundamental to creating lasting change. My approach is to offer a warm, empathetic space where clients can explore their concerns in a non-judgmental environment. I view therapy as a means of helping individuals achieve greater self-acceptance, improve relationships with others, and overcome destructive behavioural patterns, ultimately leading to more fulfilling lives.
