About me and my therapy practice

I am a Íø±¬ÃÅ registered psychotherapeutic counsellor. My first approach is to find an alliance and connection with my clients and attune to who they are, what the habits are their minds have formed and how they are viewing both themselves and the world. I enjoy being alongside my clients in sessions first to allow this exploration and then when appropriate challenge fixed, negative and punishing feelings and thoughts. I believe therapy has the potential to liberate and empower and will always tailor my approach to the individual with an invitation to my clients to be open and honest about what is helping and what isn’t helping within therapy. I still feel an element of therapy has a mysterious quality which allows me to trust the process whilst also being diligent to continue to learn new tools and theories which may benefit my clients. My aim is to create a safe and supportive environment for my clients to express themselves and be willing to take risks and be honest and authentic. 

Practice description

I am a psychotherapeutic counsellor. I am trained in an integrative style of counselling which allows a flexible and attuned approach to therapy. This style draws on building the relationship between the client and myself to help create healing which is proven to be central in contributing to successful outcomes. I believe in creating a safe, non-judgmental atmosphere within which the client can explore their struggles freely and understand themselves more fully. It is normal to feel overwhelmed, disconnected and anxious and that the human experience is messy and confusing as well as at times wonderful. We cannot stop this but we can learn not to resist or judge the human experience which in turn can free up space for us to flow with life and build the life we want. From a place of self acceptance, self understanding and empathy I feel we are more well placed to then make the changes we want to, especially within a supportive and unconditionally accepting relationship which is what I am dedicated to offering in sessions. I also incorporate mindfulness, my experience as a yoga teacher and vagus nerve work. I tailor my session to the individual client and believe in adapting to the individual.
