Grounded in evidence-based practice, I offer a person-centred approach to counselling which values my clients as distinct individuals, yet understands their placement in a system of relationships, resources and life experiences.

​

I view the mind-body as a single complex system which requires attentive exploration when investigating signs of imbalance, dysfunction or distress. Although most of our work will involve talking, my approach draws upon a mind-body perspective that includes practices to assist with embodiment and presence, connecting with the body as an anchor and ultimately learning to relate to it as a place of safety in daily life. To me, this is central in resolving trauma, aiding psychological growth, and promoting holistic wellbeing.

​

I value gentle and honest exploration of problematic dynamics affecting my clients’ lives and provide support with emotional integration of painful experiences, intentional action where change is needed, and mature acceptance when agency is limited.​

​

I never pose as the expert on someone’s life, nor come from a place of judgement. Rather, I work collaboratively, offering insight and guidance where appropriate to help each person arrive at answers, solutions and practices that feel resonant and helpful to their lives.

Please note: As a Registered Psychological Counsellor, I do not work with psychopathology or serious mental illness. It is outside my scope of practice to provide clinical diagnoses for mental health conditions. However, I may work with individuals who have an existing diagnosis of a mild to moderate condition. Generally, I find it contrary to good therapeutic outcomes when diagnostic labels become internalised as a core part of an individual’s identity instead of a tool to aid treatment.
