About me and my therapy practice
As well as a diverse range of therapeutic approaches, I bring an unconventional realness, humour, warmth, and understanding to our sessions.
When life is too much for you to process alone, counselling can help you restore balance. Wherever you're at right now, let's start making sense of it together. I offer a warm, informal (swearing completely fine here) and grounded presence where you can just be yourself. Together, we can explore ways that empower you to move forwards, whatever that looks like for you.
Contact me to set up a zero cost 15 minute Zoom call to meet me with no obligation.
Practice description
I believe behind all the symptoms and behaviours and uncomfortable feelings you’re having is a story. A story which might explain a lot about why you’re feeling and behaving in ways that don’t feel good. This is what we’ll begin to explore together.
At the beginning, counselling is like a pressure release valve. It’s a place where you get to be all the versions of you you can’t be in everyday life that want to bubble up from below. It’s a place where you can have all of your rage, your resentment, all your despair, your sadness. This is a place where you can let your feelings free range for an hour. You're allowed.
Simply bring yourself and whatever you most want to talk about. Sometimes it’s enough that someone really sees your feelings and your pain to enable you to process it. At other times, we’ll work together on identifying common themes, patterns, beliefs, behaviours, thoughts and feelings that might be holding you back.
As an integrative counsellor I weave together a variety of approaches including person centered counselling, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, parts work (IFS informed), neuroscience, Gestalt, neurobiology, somatic approaches and compassion based therapies. Together, they bring a unique flavour to our therapeutic conversations underpinned by realness, warmth, care and understanding.
Before training as a counsellor, I was a remedial massage therapist for 9 years. Working with over 1200 clients over thousands of hours gave me tremendous experience of working well with clients from all walks of life with non-judgement, compassion and empathy.
In my spare time, I'm a dog dad, a keen reader of psychology books and enjoy weightlifting.
