My Approach
My approach to therapy is grounded. I am a compassionate, empathic counsellor who brings a collaborative guide to each client as they navigate the complex challenges of a life. Counselling is a way of facilitating decisions or changes, not to tell the client what to do. I am here to listen, offer a private space to talk through emotional and behavioural changes to help you understand. I will also help to clarify confusing thoughts or intense emotions and build coping skills.
I believe all people need space to breathe and space to heal, for someone to listen with understanding. This allows the right conversations to bring change.
