About

As a therapist with lived experience in these areas, I’m here to hold space for you to explore, reflect and connect your unique experiences to your inner resilience.

It's completely natural to feel a little apprehensive about starting counselling, but it’s important to remember that your challenging experiences have led you to seek support. That is a great place to start.

Let's work together to untangle those feelings and put you back in control of your story.

Approach

The aim of counselling is to relieve distress, raise awareness and understanding of oneself and others, and create an elevated sense of wellbeing by tapping into your inner resources and putting things into perspective.

Using a trauma-informed, person-centred approach to counselling means that you set the context for the sessions and are always treated as the expert in your life.

Through evidence-based therapy techniques like Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Solution-Focused Therapy, we can together identify the inner skills and resources you can draw on as we explore, reflect, and connect the issues you’re experiencing.

“The most basic of all human needs is the need to understand and be understood.”
— Dr Ralph Nichols.
