My approach is person-centred and solution-focused. I hold a warm, inclusive, judgement-free space for deep personal growth. Together we will explore different ways of looking at things while also exploring how you got to where you are to begin with. I want to help you uncover your inner strengths, gain new insights, and hone the skills you need in order to live the life you desire. Not all work is about the past; sometimes the focus is on acquiring practical skills in the here and now to face new challenges. Meeting you where you are, even if you are nervous and unsure, I don’t rely on a “one-size-fits-all” approach to healing.
As well as being passionate about supporting those experiencing trauma and loss I have a strong background in mental health research, having worked for 20 years with The Institute of Psychiatry with individuals and families who experienced adverse childhoods, socioeconomic disadvantage and trauma. This has deeply influenced my approach to counselling.
Counselling has helped my clients find their courage and strengthen their ability to master fear, panic and worry. Depressed, angry and anxious clients have found the lightness, hope and energy to live a more joyful life, heal emotionally and leave the burdens of the past behind. Couples have been helped to forge a deeper and more joyful emotional connection
