How I Work

My Approach

You might be looking for counselling for a variety of reasons and I want to provide a space in which you can talk about and explore anything that is concerning you at your own pace. I am person-centred at my core, which means, that I believe you are the expert on your own life. Sessions with me are client-led, which means you are leading the way, and I will be by your side, supporting you along the way. 

My aim is to foster a environvment in which you feel empowered to share your experiences, thoughts and feelings openly, without the fear of judgment. While I will offer challenge, I do this in a warm and curious way. I also welcome any challenges from you when working together. I believe honesty and openness are important in order to build trust.

In my counselling practice, I use a relational approach, which means that the relationship between counsellor and client are at the centre of our work together. As social beings, relationships play a huge part in how we experience the world.

Occassionally, I use other counselling theory, such as psychodynamic or creative approaches to help us go deeper and offer a different understanding of yourself and your experiences.

I am non-pathologising in my approach, focusing on understanding your experiences without labeling them as inherently negative or abnormal. I constantly work to educate myself on various topics to ensure an anti-oppressive approach.
