COUNSELLING SUPPORT

As a counsellor for the last 10 years; I believe people are ultimately the experts on their own lives. I see my role as one to walk alongside clients & support them by: hearing their story, offering suggestions or new information and validating their individual strengths and resilience.

'My aim is to help clients feel heard, understood, validated and supported to be the best version of themselves possible'.

MODALITIES USED
I understand one counselling model does not fit all as everyone is unique. I am predominantly a client-centred therapist; although I often incorporate other modalities, depending on client needs. These may include but are not limited to: Cognitive-Behaviour Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Emotion-Focused Therapy, Emotional Freedom Technique and Motivational Interviewing.
