My approach

Taking the first step towards counselling can be challenging, but it can also open the door to meaningful change.

Together, we may explore how past experiences, including childhood, shape your present – while focusing on your current concerns and future goals.

I am an integrative counsellor, grounded in psychodynamic and person-centred approaches with a particular awareness of and sensitivity to neurodivergence. I recognise that the therapeutic process can be complex, and that communicating thoughts and feelings is not always straightforward.

I aim to offer a supportive, non-judgmental space where clients can explore their experiences at their own pace. I understand expression may take different forms, and I work collaboratively to find ways of connection that feels accessible and authentic to each individual.

I hold in mind both past and present experiences, supporting clients to develop greater self-understanding while re-enacting their own unique way of being in the world.
