Counselling

I provide a safe, non-judgemental space for you to explore and understand yourself, allowing you to work through any difficulties. I use an Integrative approach, rooted in person-centred (Rogerian) philosophies, to hear your experience fully and help you to gain clarity and perspective. Where appropriate, I will integrate CBT, TA and Psychodynamic techniques to best suit your needs and give you a tailored, congruent experience. 

I believe I have a calm, grounding nature and pride myself on my congruent, down-to-earth presentation. Ultimately, my passion is to make people feel accepted, heard and held regardless of presentation.

Coaching 

I offer a coaching service where we work collaboratively to help you to actualise your potential.  Together, we set, meet and exceed goals, modify behaviours and make positive steps towards you achieving your aspirations. Not to be confused with Counselling, Coaching guides you towards solutions with clear benchmarks to help you move forward in life. As everyone learns differently, the coaching techniques I use are reactive to the individual, but everyone can expect to feel positive, motivated & level-headed. Coaching guides you to utilise the amazing skill set you already have to achieve what you want.
