I provide a non-judgmental, safe and supportive, client-centred environment, which means that we work collaboratively in a way that works for you. I am trained as an Integrative Psychotherapist; therefore, my background is in humanistic, psychodynamic, and Person-centred therapy.

 

I work as a trauma-informed practitioner, using a three-stage model approach, as I believe it is not what is 'wrong' with you but what happened to you (Power Threat Meaning Framework) and how you can find your way back to yourself through the therapeutic relationship.

 

It is also a space to celebrate your strengths and gain perspective, as committing to counselling can often be the most challenging yet empowering step forward.

 

I am LGBTQIA+ informed and offer queer affirmative, anti-oppressive and explorative therapy, as well as neurodiverse-affirmative psychotherapy, as I understand some of the additional struggles and cultural stressors that might come with being part of a minority group. I am also mindful of my unconscious bias and privilege and therefore strive to educate myself through continual personal development (CPD) and challenge instilled beliefs open-mindedly.

 

I am warm, down-to-earth and compassionate, providing a relaxed atmosphere whilst remaining professional and fully dedicated to our work together.
