My Approach
As an Integrative counsellor, I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all therapy. Instead, I draw from a range of therapeutic approaches — including humanistic, Gestalt, and relational models — to meet you where you are and support you in the way that best suits your unique story.
At the heart of my work is relationship. I believe that change happens in the context of safe, attuned connection. Together, we create a space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and patterns at your own pace — without judgment, pressure, or masks.
Present-Focused, Past-Informed
I pay close attention to the present moment: how you feel in your body, how you relate to yourself and others, and what’s emerging for you in the space. At the same time, I’m interested in the roots of your experience especially early attachment wounds, inner child dynamics, and the messages you may have absorbed about yourself over time.
Therapy with me might involve:
- Exploring difficult feelings like shame, anxiety, grief, or anger
- Reconnecting with parts of yourself that feel lost, stuck, or silenced
- Making sense of life transitions, identity shifts, or relationship challenges
- Gently noticing patterns that no longer serve you and practising new ways of being
A Collaborative Process
I see therapy as a co-created process. I’m not here to give you advice or solutions, but to walk alongside you as you deepen your self-awareness, connect with your own wisdom, and move toward the life you want to live. I’ll bring warmth, honesty, and care to our work and I’ll invite you to do the same, in whatever way feels right for you.
LGBTQIA+ Affirming and GSRD-Informed
I bring lived experience as well as professional training in supporting LGBTQIA+ clients and those within the Gender, Sex and Relationship Diverse (GSRD) community. I understand the subtle and not-so-subtle ways that identity, belonging, and marginalisation can shape our mental and emotional wellbeing.
You won’t need to explain or justify who you are here — this is a space where your full self is welcome.
Whether you come to therapy with something specific, or just a sense that “something’s not quite right,” you don’t have to go it alone.
I’m here to listen, explore, and support you, at your pace, in your own way.
My commitment
At the core of my work is a deep belief in the healing power of relationship.
Therapy isn’t just about techniques or tools — it’s about connection. It’s in the relationship between us that growth, insight, and healing begin to unfold. That’s why I place great care and intention on how we build trust, safety, and understanding together.
I commit to showing up in our work with presence, warmth, and honesty. I’m not a distant observer — I bring my full self into the room. That means listening closely, noticing what’s said and unsaid, and being curious about how we’re relating in the moment. I welcome your thoughts, your feelings, your silences, and your hesitations. They all have a place here.
I believe that a good therapeutic relationship is collaborative and real. You won’t be expected to perform or pretend. I want you to feel free to ask questions, set boundaries, express discomfort, and bring your full experience into the space. Therapy with me is a shared process — one where we learn together what feels helpful, what needs care, and what supports your growth.
Of course, like any real relationship, the therapeutic one can sometimes feel vulnerable or challenging. When those moments arise, we’ll approach them gently and with respect — because even rupture, when met with care, can become a powerful part of the healing.
Whether you’re seeking a space to be fully seen, to feel safe enough to explore what hurts, or to grow into a fuller version of yourself, I will meet you there — with openness, integrity, and a deep respect for your journey.
