How I work
Integrative, not prescriptive.
Therapy is not one size fits all. I draw from multiple approaches and combine them to fit what each person actually needs — not what a single method dictates.
Person-Centred Counselling
The therapeutic relationship is the foundation. You lead. I listen without judgement and without a predetermined agenda for where you should go.
CBT & NLP
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Neuro Linguistic Programming techniques for working with thought patterns, behaviours, and the stories we tell ourselves.
EMDR & Trauma Work
Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing for processing trauma, alongside Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) and hypnotherapy for deeper nervous system work.
Sandtray & Mindfulness
Sandplay and storytelling for children and teenagers. Mindfulness techniques woven through the work for grounding, self-awareness, and nervous system regulation.
Family Mediation
Qualified Family Mediator specialising in separated families, cultural and faith-based issues, and working with professionals experiencing work-related stress.
Trauma Informed For Mind & Body
Therapy is tailored to you, integrating talking therapy with holistic, mind body and somatic techniques to help you reconnect with yourself, regulate emotions and build resilience.
Qualifications
Trained, accredited, insured, and DBS checked.
I am an Accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) as a Senior Therapist and work within their ethical framework. I hold all relevant insurances and current DBS clearance.
