How I work

Counselling approaches

Every person is different, and so is every counselling journey. I draw on a range of evidence-based approaches and tailor each session to what feels right for you.

Child-centred play therapy

A gentle, child-led approach where play becomes the language of healing. Through creative play, children can express feelings and experiences they may not yet have words for.

Creative and expressive therapy

Using art, drawing, sand tray, and other creative tools to explore emotions and experiences. This approach is especially helpful for those who find it easier to express themselves through doing rather than talking.

Person-centred counselling

A warm, non-judgmental approach that places you at the heart of the process. I follow your lead, offering empathy and genuine acceptance as you work through what matters most to you.

Attachment and trauma-informed practice

Grounded in an understanding of how early relationships and difficult experiences shape us. This approach creates a safe space to gently explore and heal the impact of past hurts.

CBT-informed strategies

Drawing on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy principles to help identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop practical tools for managing anxiety, low mood, and everyday challenges.

DBT-informed emotional regulation skills

Informed by Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, this approach builds skills for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and finding balance between acceptance and change.

Mindfulness

Bringing gentle, non-judgmental awareness to the present moment. Mindfulness practices can reduce stress, improve emotional wellbeing, and help you respond to life's challenges with greater calm.

Talk therapy

Sometimes the most powerful thing is simply having a safe, confidential space to talk. Talk therapy offers a supportive relationship where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences at your own pace.

Not sure which approach is right for you?

That's completely okay — you don't need to know. In our first session we'll talk about what's brought you here and find the best path forward together.
