My Approach

Integrative and flexible
I offer ways of working that will be effective and appropriate for you, from establishing day to day coping strategies to deeper explorations.

Being Heard
Simply talking, being heard and having the freedom to explore your thoughts and feelings in a calm, confidential space, can be a healing and transformative experience.

Body Centred Therapy
I often invite ‘felt sense’, this is simply noticing how the body feels. This increased self awareness provides deeper understanding of our emotions and thoughts, integrating our experience of the body into the therapeutic process.

Body awareness helps us to remain in the present moment, giving us a firm base from which to explore more deeply if we wish. This can help when exploring & integrating the adverse effects of trauma.

Mindfulness and Relaxation
Techniques for relaxation and mindfulness not only help alleviate the symptoms of stress but allow us to see things more clearly and can support a counselling session.

Creative Expression
If you find it hard to put what you’re thinking & feeling into words or prefer to explore & reflect creatively, we can also use drawing, writing, sand-tray & story cards.
