How I Work

My Approach

Integrative

My practice is grounded in person-centred counselling and informed by a holistic understanding of well-being. I bring together different therapeutic perspectives and evidence-informed approaches, responding to you as an individual rather than prescribing one way of working.

Person-Centered

You are at the centre of our work together. I respect your knowledge of your own life and experience, while bringing empathy, authenticity and professional understanding to our work. Rather than directing you towards predetermined answers, I support you to explore, understand and discover what feels meaningful and right for you.

Trauma-informed

I work with the understanding that you may have experienced events and circumstances that may have been traumatic. This understanding helps me recognise possible links between your current symptoms and behaviours and your past experiences.

Solutions-focused

I collaborate with you so that together we can explore the root of your issues and develop the right strategies to deal with them.

Strengths-Base

Alongside difficulties, I pay attention to the strengths, resources and resilience you already carry. Counselling can help you recognise and draw upon these, while developing new ways of responding when existing patterns are no longer serving you.
