​​My Approach​

I believe that the relationship between you and I provides a foundation for all our work together. It is built on a sense of trust and my unconditional acceptance. You are then free to explore your thoughts and experiences without judgement, after all you know yourself better than anybody. Sometimes it's about discovering who we really are as opposed to the person we are expected to be?

​​

My approach is Integrative, so I draw on various theories and therapeutic models to help you explore the issues you bring to our sessions, both past and present and how they might be contributing to negative self-beliefs, intrusive thoughts or relational issues today. 

​

I am also curious about my clients story and will encourage you to be the same, to look beyond the obvious and unlock the boxes that so often have been buried deep in our unconscious mind. 

 

Above all I never underestimate the huge step many have taken to attend Counselling and so compassion and my down to earth approach helps to calm the nerves and relax the mind.

​

As well as a Qualified Counsellor I am also an EMCC Qualified Life Coach so if and when it feels right, you can also bridge the past and present with the future and with an increased self awareness begin to perhaps chart a differant course towards a greater sense of fulfillment.​
