'The simplest way of defining trauma is that it's an experience we have that overwhelms our capacity to cope'.

ABOUT ME
ABOUT ME
I use an empathic approach to support my clients to feel heard and validated in a safe space while walking beside them in life’s journey. I support clients to enrich their life by navigating the challenges that they face by supporting them to develop tools to use in their day-to-day life. I help draw client's awareness and empower them to manage their own thoughts, feelings, and emotions which helps foster healthy relationships in the future, leading to a meaningful and rich life.
I am a client led counsellor who uses an integrative approach to counselling from a number of evidence- based therapies dependent on the individual’s needs. These therapies are: Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Attachment- Based Therapy, Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, and Gottman.
