We work together. You may be experiencing negative feelings or numbness. You want to be able to feel more joy and happiness. Perhaps have more energy for life. Grieving past losses and difficult experiences can help with this, as well as understanding your patterns and making any changes you choose to make.

Integrative counselling uses a range of therapeutic modalities to best support the client. My practice includes CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy), Mindfulness, Internal Family Systems, Attachment Theory, Gestalt, Person-Centred and Transactional Analysis.

I have training and experience of working with people who have experienced trauma, so I prioritise their need to feel safe, offer consistency and reliability, and prevent them from feeling retriggered. We talk through the basic trauma responses of fight, flight, freeze and fawn which are active in a traumatised client. We look at coping strategies for fear and anxiety. We move the focus from ‘What’s wrong with you?’ to ‘What happened to you?’

I have been a counsellor since graduating in Integrative Therapy in 2010, having studied a 2-year course at Wealden Institute. Since then I have undertaken additional studies including a Masters. I am a member of the BACP (British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists).
