How I work
I’m an integrative counsellor, which means I draw on different counselling approaches depending on what feels most helpful for you. This includes:
- Psychodynamic, which explores our past and how it can influence us today.
- Humanistic, which provides a supportive space to better understand yourself.
- Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), which focuses on the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviours.
- Creative approaches, particularly when feelings are difficult to put into words.
