I am a natural empath, and will be attuned and sensitive to your emotional needs and seek to understand your individual difficulties through your own lens, by stepping into your world in a person-centred way. I may facilitate your self-awareness and understanding of possible unconscious thoughts, fears and beliefs, by drawing from psychodynamic ideas. Or I may integrate CBT to help you identify possible unhelpful negative thinking patterns and explore new, more supportive ways in which you could respond to your difficulties, by focussing on your strengths.
I am a devoted counsellor, providing an empathic space where you can feel valued, have your thoughts and feelings heard and validated, in a non-judgmental and supportive manner. I draw from various therapeutic theories and integrate their ideas according to your individual needs, facilitating the use of different approaches that could be beneficial for you.
I am naturally drawn to working flexibly and collaboratively, by giving you room to connect with and access your own wisdom, to help you reach your goals. By building a therapeutic alliance with you, I will facilitate a mutually agreeable space and a cooperative manner of working together, that is tailored to your individual wants and needs.​

Together we can work through the challenges you may have. I will attentively listen to you, acknowledge how you feel and encourage you in voicing your thoughts and emotions. I have witnessed clients become more aware of their thinking patterns, develop greater self-care and understand themselves in better and deeper ways. Leading them towards a more meaningful and positive manner of living.
