How I work
I work by creating a therapeutic relationship with you. Within this relationship, we address whatever difficulties you are experiencing. I am skilled at providing a reassuring presence within which you can feel safe, heard and understood.
I am curious about people and their relationships and have been told throughout my life that I have a warm, calming and non-judgmental presence which encourages confidence and intimacy from others.
I believe that many of the difficulties we encounter in life are related to problems in our interpersonal relationships, whether at home, in the family, with a partner, or at work. Sometimes, it's our relationship with ourselves which becomes difficult. My training in the relational approach to counselling and psychotherapy means that I have the skills to support my clients to explore these issues.
My work is integrative, drawing mainly from person centred therapy, but I also use elements of CBT and Transactional Analysis. I have supported people with a variety of different issues, including anxiety, depression, trauma, bereavement and loss, relationship problems, issues around neurodiversity, alcohol and substance abuse, difficulties with work, self esteem, identity, the search for meaning.
