I began my counseling journey with training in a person-centered approach, grounded in the belief that clients are experts in their own lives with the insight to create meaningful change. I offer a supportive, non-judgmental space to explore needs, strengths, and goals, fostering reflection and growth.
Since qualifying, I’ve trained in solution-focused and cognitive-behavioral therapies, addressing issues like grief, workplace stress, relationships, and family dynamics. I’m also trained in Brainspotting (BSP), a powerful trauma-healing technique that bypasses cognitive layers to access deeper emotions, promoting rapid recovery.
I provide a compassionate, non-judgmental space tailored to each client’s needs. With expertise in person-centered, solution-focused, and Brainspotting therapies, I address grief, anxiety, trauma, and life transitions. I also offer group support and professional supervision. Together we’ll rebuild confidence, manage challenges, and rediscover purpose and joy
Please reach out via email to discuss how counseling can support you. I offer a free 10-minute phone call to explore your needs and schedule your first appointment.
