My Approach

At the core of my practice is a person-centered approach, which means I believe in empowering you as the expert in your own life. Together, we’ll work collaboratively, with you guiding the conversation and discovering your own unique path to resolution. By creating a safe, non-judgmental space, I encourage you to express your feelings and explore your thoughts without hesitation.

I also integrate additional therapeutic approaches, including EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) for trauma, Solution-Focused Therapy to identify actionable steps forward, and Gestalt Therapy for greater self-awareness and presence. Each approach is selected and tailored based on what best supports you at this stage of your journey.

Why I Became a Counsellor

I became a counsellor because I’m passionate about helping people find balance and healing in their lives. Through my own life experiences and professional journey, I’ve witnessed the transformative power of a safe, compassionate space where individuals can speak openly, confront their fears, and develop new perspectives on life. My commitment is to support you as you work through obstacles and unlock a sense of confidence and well-being.

Experience and Professional Ethics

With a wealth of experience in areas such as grief, anxiety, depression, trauma, and self-confidence, I’m well-equipped to support clients of all ages and backgrounds. As a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), I adhere to strict ethical standards, ensuring that your well-being, privacy, and dignity are respected in all aspects of our work together.

Whether you’re seeking short-term support for a specific issue or longer-term guidance, I’m here to help you navigate your path with care, professionalism, and empathy. Counselling is a personal journey, and I am honored to walk alongside you, helping you unlock insights, heal, and thrive.
