My style of counselling is Integrative and Humanistic, allowing me to use art, movement, breathwork and talk therapy to support the client to explore issues arising in their life. My compassionate approach allows me to form a good therapeutic relationship with the client which allows a natural flow to the session. I work with a variety of areas such as identity, low self esteem, anxiety, loss and grief and career change. I work with all cultures, religious backgrounds and belief systems. I listen in a non judgemental way so you, the client can explore ways to be the best version of you.
I work in a humanistic way incorporating the whole human, thoughts, feelings and behaviour. Sometimes we get stuck in life and need to talk, draw, breath or move in order to see the bigger picture. I work at the clients pace to assist in the work. Sometimes we just need someone to listen and the answers become clear.
Life can be busy, hectic and draining. I am here to listen in a non judgemental way so the issues that are hurting you can be seen and heard. You are powerful, you matter and you have the key inside you to unlock the answers you seek. Please know you are not alone and I am here to listen.

Initially we will explore why the client is attending therapy, their expectations and address any questions that may arise. I work using a variety of techniques such as cognitive behavioural therapy where the mindset and thoughts can be explored. Unhelpful ways of thinking can be replaced with more helpful styles.
