Counselling is connection
Counselling provides a special opportunity for you to talk freely and openly in a safe, supportive relationship about anything you might be struggling with, and to have the chance to pause and connect with yourself without distraction or judgement.
The most important part of counselling is our relationship, which is why developing a genuine connection with you is at the heart of what I do. A person-centred approach is at the core of my practice, and I also bring in other approaches such as psychodynamic, CBT, experiential and emotion-focused depending on what you would like to get out of counselling.
I take time to get to know you and what you’re experiencing to find a way of working together that feels right for you. I encourage your ideas about what will be most helpful for you, but if you’re not sure we can figure it out together.
