I have a warm, calm, collaborative and non-judgemental approach to my work. I will hold space for you to explore difficult or distressing thoughts or feelings but also recognise the importance of humour in therapy. I meet you with kindness, compassion, and curiosity. My approach is gentle, with a focus on empowering you. I show up as myself so that I can make it easier for you to show up for yourself. The foundation of any work we do together will be based on me developing a strong, trusting therapeutic relationship with you. I think, our relationship can be the key to you feeling feel safe enough to explore what's going on for you.
I work with clients who may want to explore aspects of their identity, gender, sexuality, and relationships. I have experience working with low self-esteem, low self-confidence, anxiety, depression, overwhelming emotions. I work a lot with young adults who are navigating difficult life transitions, exploring a change in career, or navigating relationships.
If you are interested in how we might work together, then please see my website for more information. Your experience of counselling is important to me and I'm happy to have a chat around your specific access needs. I always offer a free 20 minute initial call or Zoom call with all potential clients so you can find out if I'm the right fit for you.
