Client-centred
You're the expert in your own life. I listen, value your experience and work with you to find what helps.
My approach
How I work
A safe, supportive space to be yourself, explore what's going on, and find a way forward that feels right for you.
My approach
A collaborative, compassionate approach
I offer a non-judgemental space where you can talk about what's been happening, understand yourself a little better and work towards the changes you want. My approach is client-centred, trauma-informed and neurodiversity-affirming. It's also flexible, so I adapt how we work to suit you. You're the one leading our sessions, and I'm alongside you.
My core principles
Trauma-informed
Sessions are gentle and predictable. Safety and choice come first, and you're never pushed to share more than you want to.
Neurodiversity-affirming
Different ways of thinking and being are respected here. I adapt how we work so it suits you.
Accessible and professional
Warm and down-to-earth, with clear boundaries and confidential, ethical practice.
