My Approach

I work in an integrative way which means I weave together psychodynamic insight to help you understand the patterns and feelings that shape your life, with a person‑centred, kind and compassionate way of being. I ensure that our work is grounded in empathy and respect, and that we work at your pace.  Bringing these approaches together allows me to offer a space that is both insightful and supportive, where you feel understood and can make sense of the deeper factors influencing your life today.  

​

I believe healing happens in the space between two people, so I pay close attention to the relationship we build, and the connection between us is at the heart of the counselling process.  I work collaboratively which means we'll make sense of your experiences together in a way that feels safe and meaningful and our work is guided by what feels most helpful for you.

​

There is often a misconception that counsellors give advice and that counselling is a quick fix.  However, counselling is a process not an event and it can take time.  I do not offer advice but I am here to listen deeply to your story, to help you untangle the thoughts, feelings and patterns of behavior that may be holding you back in life.  Through the counselling process you will gain a deeper understanding of yourself. This self-awareness brings clarity and change begins to happen naturally.  

​

If you have never been to counselling before and are wondering what to expect, most importantly I would like you to know that you do not have to show up in any particular way, just as you are.  There is no pressure from me, we will take our time, and we’ll make sense of things together.
