What Can I Expect?
What you experience will be as indivdual and unique as you are, but some things that you can expect are:
- Confidentiality*
- To be heard
- To be taken seriously
- To work at a pace that works for you
- To be supported
- To encounter purposeful challenge when the time is right
- Honesty
* As explained in the contract that precedes counselling
I work with a wide range of difficulties that lead people to entering counselling. This includes, but is not limited to
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Suicidality
- OCD
- Addictions, unwanted and compulsive behaviours
- Trauma
- Self-esteem
- Relational difficulties
- Mens' issues
- Stress
- Feeling 'stuck'
- Neurodivergence
- Matters relating to Christian faith and spirituality (when clients see this as relevant to their situation and request this). NB I work with clients of all faiths and none.

What is your approach?​
As an integrative therpist I draw upon a range of theories and well researched approaches as I journey with you. These include:
​
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy
One of many approaches I use is Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to help individuals identify and change problematic thought patterns and behaviors linked with difficult feelings. Empowering clients to develop effective coping strategies and achieve positive mental health outcomes.
Psychodynamic Approaches
Depending on what a client wants to work on, I will often use psychodynamic approaches to support the understanding of and address deep-seated emotional issues and psychological challenges. Offering a safe and supportive environment for self-exploration and personal growth.
My Approach
I believe that creating a warm, non-judgmental space for clients to explore their stories, thoughts and feelings is essential. My approach is collaborative, focusing on building a trusting therapeutic relationship and utilizing evidence-based techniques to support your emotional well-being and personal development.
​
Working in your best interest, I am motivated to see you reach your goals of therapy and to this end, I am more than willing to ensure that there is suitable challenge where this supports the change you are wanting to see.
​
I take my responsibility to uphold the ethical frameworks that govern my pratise seriously.
I ensure that I access supervision as required by my professional body (The ACC https://www.acc-uk.org/).
I am fully insured.
I am registered as a data controller, abiding by all GDPR requirements.
