My Approach
I am an integrative counsellor, meaning I draw on different approaches to best support your needs. Person-centred is always at the core of my work, offering congruence, empathy, and unconditional positive regard.
I am here to support you in exploring your past, making connections to your present and discover a future that feels right for you.
Our work together includes:
- The sessions are about you and what you would like to use the space to talk about and explore.
- The relationship between us is built on trust, honesty and respect.
- I will listen to your thoughts and feelings, supporting you emotionally.
- Working at a pace that feels right for you.
- Insights to support making connections to the feelings you experience in the here and now.
