How I work:
As an integrative therapist, I blend various therapeutic approaches to create a personalised and flexible experience for each client. Drawing from models such as psychodynamic therapy, cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT), and compassion-focused therapy, I adapt my methods to meet your unique needs, recognising that each person’s journey is different. Our sessions will consider all aspects of your wellbeing, including emotional, mental, physical, and social, allowing us to explore past experiences, address thought patterns, or build practical skills for managing life's challenges. My goal is to offer a supportive, adaptable approach that evolves with you, fostering growth, self-discovery, and positive change.

I specialise in working with long-term health conditions:
One of my interests is working with clients with chronic health conditions. My focus lies in providing support for the emotional and psychological challenges that accompany long-term health conditions. Living with a chronic condition often affects multiple areas of life, including self-esteem, relationships, and mental health. Through counselling, I help clients navigate the complexities of their health difficulties, fostering positive change.
These are some of the issues I work with when supporting clients with long-term health conditions:
Adjustment to diagnosis
Mental health impact
Loss of independence
Identity and self-worth
Social isolation
Impact on relationships
Health-related anxiety
