My approach

Effective counselling involves more than choosing a specific type of therapy. It is also about the relationship we build, a shared understanding of your goals, a plan that makes sense to you, and our willingness to adjust when something is not helping.

That is why my approach is grounded in client feedback. I check in with you at every session to see how you are doing and how you feel about our work together. Your goals and preferences guide the type of therapy we try and what we do in each session.

Depending on what you are looking for, sessions might include:

• Questions to help you explore new perspectives.
• Mapping patterns to help you understand where you feel stuck.
• Slowing down to pay attention to your thoughts, feelings, or body sensations.
• Exercises to help you process inner conflict or difficult memories.
• Skills to help you manage strong feelings or navigate relationships.

My favourite part of counselling is how creative it is. I love learning what resonates for each client and exploring their unique view of the world. My aim is for you to feel heard, understood, accepted, and empowered as a result of our time together.
