How I work
As an accredited British Assosciation of Counselling and Psycotherapy (BACP) counsellor with over 14 years of experience, I specialise in Humanistic Integrative Counselling—an approach that honours the deep connection between mind, body, and spirit.
I believe that everyone holds the potential to move beyond fear and difficulty. By cultivating self-awareness, compassion, and understanding, we can grow in confidence and create more meaningful, fulfilling lives.
At the heart of my practice is a commitment to providing a safe, non-judgmental space where we can explore both conscious and unconscious experiences. I see the therapeutic relationship as a powerful catalyst for healing—one that supports ongoing self-discovery and transformation. With the right support, new possibilities emerge, along with a deeper sense of inner peace.
I am trained to listen deeply, reflect with care, and offer gentle, encouraging guidance. Together, we work to clarify the challenges you face and uncover pathways to change. My aim is to create an environment where you feel truly seen, understood, and empowered to reconnect with your authentic self.
Clients often share that they leave our sessions feeling calmer, more confident, and more aligned with their direction in life. Alongside deep emotional work, I also offer practical tools to manage anxiety, unhelpful thought patterns, and compulsive behaviours—helping you build a more balanced and resilient 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.
