My Approach
Therapy shaped
around you
around you
Integrative counselling means I don't follow a single fixed model. Instead, I draw on a range of approaches and select what genuinely fits what you're bringing, and how you work best.
That might mean working with thoughts and patterns, exploring how the past shows up in the present, paying attention to what your body is telling you, or simply having a space where you can think out loud with someone who is truly listening.
What stays constant is the relationship. The trust and safety we build together is the foundation that makes everything else possible.
"I work with the whole person, not just the presenting problem. Whatever has brought you here, we start from where you actually are."
01
Person-Centred
You lead. I follow. Your experience, your pace, your goals. Nothing is pushed or forced.
02
Integrative
Drawing on CBT, transactional analysis, somatic awareness and relational work, selecting what fits you.
03
Trauma-Informed
Careful, staged work that keeps you safe. Never moving faster than you are ready for.
04
Relational
The therapeutic relationship itself is part of the work. Honesty and trust create the conditions for real change.
