“It doesn’t interest me what you do for a living.
I want to know what you ache for, and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart’s longing.”
Oriah Mountain Dreamer, The Invitation
ABOUT ME
ABOUT MY COUNSELLING APPROACH
I am a humanistic integrative counsellor, drawing from several theoretical models including Relational Person-Centred, Psychodynamic & Felt Sense. I will be interested to hear what's brought you to counselling, what your hopes for change are & work collaboratively with you to bring about the change you're seeking.
I'm passionate about working with people experiencing a range of issues, including anxiety, depression, low mood and self-worth, relationship difficulties, trauma, addiction, and experiences of neurodivergence such as ADHD, Autism, OCD etc. I also specialise in supporting parents and carers of children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) and have lived experience of the stress, trauma and distress that can come from navigating a system not set up for you or your child's needs.
EXPERIENCE
I have a background working with people facing complex challenges, particularly those living with active addictions or in recovery, often where underlying trauma plays a central role and I take from this work a deep appreciation of how early experiences, attachment, and coping strategies can influence how we relate to ourselves and others.
I bring a compassionate, trauma-informed approach to my work, supporting clients to explore their experiences safely and at their own pace.
I have lived experience of being neurodivergent and being part of a neurodivergent family and I'm passionate about creating a space where your communication style, sensory needs & way of processing are respected & understood, and it's safe to be and discover your true self.
