My Approach to Counselling
As a trained and UKCP registered psychotherapeutic counsellor, I use an integrative approach tailored to your needs. I combine techniques from person-centred therapy, trauma-informed care, and cognitive-behavioural strategies to support you in achieving meaningful change.
My counselling sessions provide a safe and non-judgmental space where you can express yourself freely. Together, we explore your thoughts and feelings, identify patterns, and develop practical strategies to help you cope, heal, and thrive.
