I am a qualified integrative counsellor, which means I use a variety of approaches to work with your individuality. Person centred counselling forms the foundation of my approach, emphasising that you take the lead in our sessions. I will listen non-judgmentally, be honest and genuine with you, and strive to fully understand what it is like to experience your situation.

When working with couples, I may suggest strategies to help you navigate your relationship dynamics. This often involves asking you both questions and encouraging you to communicate directly with each other to help you both to feel active and engaged in the process.

With both individuals and couples, sometimes I work in the present moment, inviting you to explore physical sensations to uncover hidden emotions or regulate your nervous system if you start to feel overwhelmed. I am a certified Iyengar Yoga teacher with ten years experience and bringing bodily awareness into the therapy room can be a natural and effective complement to our work together.

I am a registered member the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP) which adheres me to the highest possible standards, professionally and ethically.

I also engage in regular Supervision to ensure I can work with you to the best of my abilities. Committed to my ongoing development and learning, I continually review and refine my practice to provide the best support I can.
