Please contact me with your availability and I will try my best to accommodate you.

Firstly, I want to commend you for recognising your need for therapeutic support and for taking the step to making it possible. There are many reasons why you might be seeking therapy at this time. Whether it is associated with feelings of loneliness, confusion, feeling low, overwhelmed, stuck, anxious etc, I believe the collaborative therapeutic relationship between you and your therapist is of great importance in you successfully achieving your therapeutic goals. I believe in the transformative power of understanding oneself, and my goal is to aid you in this journey of self-discovery.

I am a fully qualified and experienced therapist, trained in integrative counselling, with a Masters Degree in Psychology. This means I have the ability to integrate various theoretical approaches such as Person-Centred, CBT, Psychodynamic, Attachment, and Existentialism, to offer you therapy best suited for you. As a pluralistic/integrative therapist, my method is grounded in the belief that therapy is not a one-size-fits-all. By being adaptable, I craft sessions that feel genuine and tailored, ensuring that therapy not only considers the entirety of an individual but also the depth of their relationships. This holistic stance fosters a therapeutic relationship that produces personal growth, relational understanding and well-being.

Growth is an ever-evolving journey and we sometimes need help in navigating around the changes that comes with it. I provide a safe, accommodating and confidential space where you can be vulnerable, be your authentic self and speak your truth as you explore your thoughts and feelings without feeling judged. You will be heard, accepted and respected, to encourage you to feel empowered to explore your issues confidently, solve your problems and make any necessary changes in a healthy way. Sessions will not feel rushed or pressuring because it will be at your own pace.

Our work together will be like having a tool box, where you will develop skills that can be used as tools for you to be better equipped at navigating through/around some of life's difficult moments. By the end of our therapeutic work, you will be more confident and in-tuned with yourself. You will be more aware of your personal needs, enabling you to gain a better overall understanding of yourself.

I offer a free 15 minutes telephone/video call to see if I am the right fit for you. If we decide to work together I will ask you to complete a brief assessment form. We will explore the circumstances that have brought you to counselling, the hopes and goals you have for the counselling process, as well as identifying the expectations we have of working with each other.
