I am warm, empathic and genuine. I provide a safe, confidential space where you can express yourself freely and process complex thoughts and feelings without fear of judgement. Whatever brings you to seek counselling, I will work hard to understand your goals and support you as you move towards resolution, relief or change.

By working integratively I can combine different counselling methods to suit your individual needs. I take a Person-Centred approach in all of my work. At the heart of this lies the premise that we can grow, change and reach our full potential, under the right conditions. My role is to help you do just that, by providing a safe, trusting environment in which you can really understand your experience, and identify and break down the barriers which may be preventing you from moving forwards. I also use Psychodynamic theory, looking at childhood experiences and the key relationships of our early years, which can have significant, often unconscious, influence over our thoughts, feelings and actions as adults. Working through unresolved issues of your past can help you live more freely in your present.

If I work with you as a couple I will help you look at your relationship as a system, understand how it is functioning, and identify and work through problem areas, or barriers to change and growth. I will facilitate compassionate discussion and mutual understanding to help you navigate challenges, and reach whatever resolution you feel works best for you and for your relationship.
