Experience and approach:

As a Humanistic Integrative Counsellor, I combine different approaches tailored to my clients as unique individuals. Building trust and developing a deep therapeutic relationship is the bedrock of my counselling approach. I am adept at creating space for a person’s innate desire to develop and I combine this with a psychodynamic approach to broaden awareness and prompt questions, which assists clients to grow and develop beyond their past.

I have worked extensively with LGBT clients; I understand from personal experience the specific issues that may come with minority stress, shame, familial expectations and early isolation.

I have extensive experience working with people who are carrying trauma, assisting clients to process their experiences and live a more authentic life.
