About me and my therapy practice
The human experience is often characterized by moments of joy, excitement, and wonder, but it can also be unpredictable, challenging, and overwhelming. At times, we all need support to navigate the complexities of life and gain a deeper understanding of ourselves—our motivations, behaviours, and reactions to the world and the situations we encounter.
I believe that you, as the client, are the expert on your own life. My role is to collaborate with you, guiding you to uncover, explore, and release what is needed to achieve the best possible outcome in the present moment.
Taking that initial step to seek help can often feel like the most difficult part of the process. While the journey of counselling can be challenging - what I like to describe as "appropriately uncomfortable" - it can also be immensely liberating and rewarding.
Practice description
I am a qualified integrative counsellor (meaning I work with several modalities, depending on what best suits the client) and a member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP) I am guided by their ethical framework and am fully insured.
I am also qualified and insured as a hypnotherapist and NLP practitioner and can draw on this skillset if therapeutically needed or beneficial to the client.
