How I work
As an accredited BACP counsellor with over 12 years of experience, I specialise in Humanistic Integrative Counselling. This approach honours the deep connection between mind, body, and spirit, and focuses on healing by exploring past, present, and future experiences.
I believe that everyone has the potential to move beyond their fears and challenges. Through self-awareness, compassion, and a deeper understanding of ourselves, we can develop greater confidence and lead more fulfilling lives.
My approach is centred around creating a safe, non-judgmental space where we can explore both conscious and unconscious issues together. I believe that healing happens through the therapeutic relationship, which encourages continuous growth and self-discovery. With this support, new possibilities and a greater sense of inner peace can emerge.
I am trained to listen deeply, reflect with care, and offer gentle motivation, helping you gain clarity on the challenges you face. My aim is to create an environment where you feel truly understood, accepted, and empowered to discover your authentic self.
Many of my clients report feeling calmer and more confident after our sessions, with a clearer sense of direction in navigating life’s struggles. I also offer practical tools to manage anxiety, unhelpful thought patterns, and compulsive behaviours, supporting you in building a healthier and more balanced life.

Why counselling?
In general, one of the main goals of counselling is to help people reach a state of awareness, or self-realisation. Counsellors act as cheerleaders, motivators, and mirrors, which can help people finally realise that they are unique and amazing beings in and of themselves. After working with a counsellor, many individuals will finally realise their own strengths and abilities, and focus on becoming better and happier people.
Counselling is a process of helping the unconscious to become conscious. When we become aware of our needs, motivations, and patterns of behaviour, we are able to make better choices for ourselves. Spoken communication is invaluable yet at the same time limited in helping us become aware of our inner life and our unconscious ways of relating to each other.
Many clients use compulsive behaviours to avoid experience of self. With counselling clients are able to move out of their heads and into a fuller experience at which time they can experience problems and rehearse solutions in a new way expanding their sense of self and replacing compulsive behaviour’s with creativity and internal safety. Many clients experiencing counselling report …
less intensity of perceived distress,
fewer compulsive thoughts, impulses and actions,
fewer feelings of inadequacy and inferiority,
fewer symptoms of depression, anxiety, fear, and anger,
a greater orientation to the present,
a tendency to be more independent and self-supportive,
more flexibility,
more sensitivity to their own needs and feelings,
a greater likelihood to express feelings and be themselves,
and an improved capacity to develop meaningful and warm interpersonal relationships with others.
