about me

my approach

I have a warm, compassionate and non-judgemental approach.

The type of counselling I offer is grounded in the person-centred approach, which means I hold a deep respect for you as an individual and trust in your innate capacity for healing and growth. My work creates a space where you can explore your choices, decisions, and feelings at your own pace, without judgment. Whether you're seeking short-term solutions to specific challenges or looking for a long-term, relational approach, we will work together in a way that honors your unique path.

Person-centred therapy is based on the belief that all human beings are constantly striving to be the best they can be for themselves. Each of us has an inherent desire to be whole and well, and despite any difficulties or traumas we may have faced, we carry within us the ability to grow and thrive. My role is to facilitate this process, offering support as you navigate your way forward.

In addition, I am deeply committed to anti-oppressive practice. I bring a social justice perspective to a trauma-informed approach, which means I am mindful of the broader systemic and societal factors that contribute to distress. I provide an affirming, inclusive space where you can explore what's happening for you in a way that feels safe and paced according to your needs.


I am here to help facilitate you in finding a way forward that is right for you.
