Counsellor | Provisional Psychologist
Reaching out for support takes courage, and I believe meaningful therapy begins with trust and human connection. I aim to create a welcoming, non-judgemental space where you feel comfortable speaking honestly, asking questions and exploring the experiences and patterns that may be affecting you.
My style is conversational, supportive and collaborative, with curiosity, compassion and authenticity at the heart of how I work. Some sessions may involve exploring experiences in greater depth, while others may be more practical and focused on developing skills or strategies you can use in everyday life. I adapt the pace and focus to you, with the aim of helping you develop greater clarity, recognise your own strengths and move towards the changes that matter to you. My hope is that our work together leaves you feeling more capable, more hopeful, and with a clearer understanding of the direction you want your life to take.
As a Counsellor and Provisional Psychologist at Laburnum Psychology, I work with clients across a range of therapy and counselling needs.
I like therapy to bring together meaningful reflection with ideas and strategies that can make a difference in everyday life. Rather than relying on one therapeutic model, I draw on different evidence-based approaches according to your individual needs, goals and circumstances, adapting the work as therapy progresses.
