I often find it hard to describe my practice and prefer to talk with potential clients directly – finding out what they need and how I could support them (you can book this here). However, general information is of course helpful at this stage to help you get an initial idea of my approach and what working together can look like.

Counselling & psychotherapy

How I work

Sessions are warm, considered, and are space for your own experience. I believe therapy is most effective when empathetic understanding and appropriate challenge are balanced, supporting psychological safety, personal connection, and self-directed change. What that balance looks like will differ for each person. Many clients share that they feel at ease throughout our work, and experience a blend of professional care and genuine presence.

Therapy can be enjoyable – humorous, peaceful, include uplifting ‘ah-ha’ moments, and it can also be hard going – raw, vulnerable, and sitting with difficult feelings such as stuckness, anger, dysregulation, shame or defeat. Some sessions may even move between both. As your therapist, it’s important that I can sit with it all, especially for those who have have been through traumatic and adverse experiences. I pay close attention to safety, pacing, and regulation within sessions, as well as understanding how trauma can shape patterns of coping, relating, thinking, and feeling.

I work from a person-centred (NHS-approved) approach, with a strong focus on experiential and relational work – exploring your experiences and how they unfold in the room between us. I have an arts background and, if helpful, sessions may also include visual exploration to support the therapeutic process. You are also welcome to include your own ways of exploring such as music, lyrics, films, games, etc.
