What I offer...
I can help you better understand your mental health, help you order and process whatever it is that is troubling you. Facilitating your exploration of your thoughts, feelings, and experiences so you come to terms with what you're dealing with: often those memories, events, thoughts, and feelings that take up too much of your mind and energy; process trauma/s; improve self-esteem and confidence; overcome anxiety, depression, overthinking; addiction; narcissistic abuse; grief; loss; coming to terms with a diagnosis; a whole range of things.
Depending on what it is you want to work on, I can also help you develop coping skills and strategies for an improved mindset, providing techniques, skills, and approaches so you can maintain a positive head-space long after your therapy sessions.
As well as my formal training, I draw on a range of my own personal life experiences and mental health struggles - experiences that I've processed and overcome, so I know it's possible - and will only ever listen to you with an open mind and completely without judgement.
My Approach
Relational
An approach centred on the importance of authentic connection, viewing the client-therapist relationship as crucial to growth, understanding that our emotional well-being stems from our relationship with self and others.
Person-centred
Helps clients to find their own solutions through a supportive, non-judgmental space built on empathy, helping individuals achieve personal growth and self-actualisation through conversation led by you. With support, you will find your own way/s forward.
Integrative
A personalised approach to mental health that draws upon and blends techniques from various therapeutic models to create an approach tailored to an individual's unique needs, rather than forcing one method or theory to fit.
