Integrative Counsellor

 

My own experiences have taught me that life and relationships are rarely straightforward. We can find ourselves adapting to the people and circumstances around us, taking on roles and responsibilities, and sometimes losing touch with what we ourselves need. This has given me a deep appreciation for the individuality of each person and the different experiences that contribute to who we become.

 

I am particularly interested in how our relationships and experiences shape us, and how

these can influence the way we see ourselves, others and the world around us.

Rather than seeing people's patterns as something wrong with us, I believe it can

be helpful to  understand what was happening in our lives when they developed, and how they may have helped us cope at the time. 

​

I value curiosity, openness and compassion, and I continue to develop as a counsellor through ongoing learning and the experience of working with each individual person. 

 

An integrative approach means I am trained in multiple counselling approaches and use them flexibly to meet your individual needs and better understand your lived experiences. I recognise that each person’s story is unique and requires a way of working that honours that individuality. 

​

I have continued to develop my knowledge and skills through further training in trauma-informed practice, Somatic Experiencing and breathwork. I have a particular interest in the relationship between our emotional and physical experiences, and in how what happens to us can sometimes be felt in the body as well as experienced through our thoughts and emotions.
