Individuals
What’s involved
For me, the client-counsellor relationship is at the heart of the counselling process and I base my work on developing a relationship of deep understanding, acceptance and empathy. I recognise reaching out for help can feel daunting and I aim to put you at ease working from a friendly, warm, heart-centred place. Within this supportive, non-judgemental, collaborative space, my hope is that you are able to explore your thoughts and feelings, reconnect with your inner values and sense of self, enabling you to move forward and progress.
My counselling style is relational and person-centred, and I believe that you will find your own solutions at your own pace given the right therapeutic conditions. My training is ‘integrative’ meaning I draw on different theories and techniques in order to support you through the counselling process and tailor the sessions to meet your individual needs.
Over 10 years experience supporting individual clients, both long-term and short-term, I have experience in working with anxiety, depression, mental health, childhood trauma, addiction, abuse, self-esteem, stress, birth, parenting, sexuality, relationships, bereavement, life stage transitions, infertility & loss, self image and much more.
Initial Session
Introductory session to meet with you to and discuss what you’re hoping for from the counselling process and decide on next steps. An opportunity for you to ask me any questions to make sure I am the right counsellor for you at this time.
The Relationship
Central to my approach is the client-counsellor relationship and I base my practice on developing a relationship of deep understanding, acceptance and empathy. I work from a friendly, warm, heart-centred place - helping put you at ease right from the very start.
Mind-Body Connection
I believe in the importance of mind and body connection. Often we neglect to pay attention to emotions held in our bodies, particularly those that feel overwhelming or unsafe. I may invite you to notice bodily sensations in the here-and-now and help you to re-connect with your sense of intuition and inner guide.
