How I Work

As an integrative counsellor, I draw from a range of therapeutic models depending on your unique needs and what feels most supportive for you. I’m particularly influenced by person-centred, mindfulness-based, existential and cognitive behavioural approaches. This means I offer a grounded, compassionate presence and a deep respect for your authentic self and inner wisdom - while also helping you explore practical ways to navigate the challenges you’re facing.

Existential therapy informs much of my perspective. It’s a thoughtful and reflective approach that explores the deeper questions we all face at times - Who am I? What really matters to me? How do I find meaning in life? It helps us understand how we relate to ourselves, others and the world around us, especially during times of change, uncertainty, or challenge.

Rather than viewing emotional struggles as something to 'fix' existential therapy supports you in making sense of your experiences, understanding your values and finding your own way forward. It encourages greater self-awareness, personal responsibility and a more authentic, intentional way of living.

Mindfulness helps us stay connected to the present moment, while CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) offers practical tools for identifying and gently challenging unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours that may be keeping you stuck. When helpful, I draw on CBT techniques to build awareness of how your thoughts, emotions and actions interact - and to support meaningful change in a manageable, empowering way.

Together, we’ll work to make sense of your experiences, understand your emotional landscape and explore how you’re meeting life’s challenges - with curiosity, self-compassion and care.

I support people with a wide range of issues, including grief, anxiety, trauma, depression, family dynamics, identity questions, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, life transitions and the desire for personal growth.

Ultimately, my aim is to support you in deepening self-awareness, reconnecting with your inner resources, gaining clarity and experiencing meaningful change. I hope to help you grow in ways that feel lasting and true to who you are - unlocking your potential and moving toward a life that feels purposeful, fulfilling and aligned.

Person-Centred Therapy

At the heart of my work is a belief in your inner strength and capacity for growth. I provide a non-judgmental, empathic environment where you feel truly heard and accepted. I aim to create a trusting relationship where growth and self-discovery can naturally unfold.

Gestalt Therapy

Encouraging awareness of the present moment, Gestalt therapy helps you understand how past experiences shape your current emotions and behaviors. Through creative techniques, we explore unfinished business and patterns that may be holding you back.

Mindfulness-Based Approaches

Bringing mindful awareness to your thoughts and feelings can help reduce stress, increase emotional resilience and improve overall well-being. I integrate mindfulness techniques to support you in cultivating a greater sense of presence and self-acceptance.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

A practical, solution-focused approach that helps you identify and change negative thought patterns. CBT is particularly effective for managing anxiety, depression and unhelpful behaviours by promoting healthier coping strategies.

Transactional Analysis (TA)

This approach helps us understand communication patterns, emotional responses and relational dynamics. By exploring different ego states (Parent, Adult, and Child), TA can offer insight into how past experiences shape our interactions today.

Existential Therapy

This approach helps you explore life’s big questions. It’s less about fixing problems and more about understanding yourself, your choices and how you relate to the world. It supports you in living more authentically and in line with your values.
