How do I work?

I believe that counselling is a collaborative process and I work with you to establish a safe and non-judgemental space where you can explore and work through your concerns while I and support and facilitate the sessions.

I see counselling as a two part process. First we need to look at how you are managing in the here and now while reflecting back and processing past experiences. I integrate various counselling techniques such as exposure therapy, Gestalt, Emotionally Focused Therapy, mindfulness in a user-centred and holistic approach.

I would provide a safe, confidential and supportive space for you to reflect, overcome, strengthen and be empowered.
