My Approach

My way of working combines traditional psychotherapeutic theories with, evidence-based techniques into a style that feels relatable, down to earth and compassionate.

I blend elements of neuroscience, polyvagal theory, mindfulness, person centred, psychodynamic psychotherapy, and body based/somatic psychotherapy.

I will attend to what’s happening in your thoughts, feelings and body and draw on a range of effective modalities,, tailored to your specific needs.

My approach is trauma-informed which means l will not try and fix you but l will try and help you life with the trauma in meaningful way. We can not erase the past but we can find a way that makes the trauma bearable and reduce your symptoms.

Before starting therapy, I offer an initial 15 minute consultation. This gives us the opportunity to discuss your reasons for seeking therapy and what your hopes and anxieties might be. It also allows you to get a sense of my way of working and decide whether I am the right therapist for you.

Should you choose to work with me, we'll start with an 50 minute 'taster session' or and explore further your concerns and determining our suitability for continued collaboration. I find that dedicating time to these initial meetings allows us to establish rapport and tailor our approach effectively.

In line with the guidelines by BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy), I engage in ongoing professional supervision to ensure the highest standard of care for my clients. Committed to continual growth, I regularly pursue additional training through counseling courses, workshops, research, and literature review.
