Hi I'm an integrative counsellor, specialising working with a range of issues including high functioning anxiety, emotional distress, work issues, perfectionism, all- or nothing thinking, ADHD, OCD, confidence & self-esteem, relationship issues, people pleasing those who struggle maintain healthy boundaries, The focus, for me, is on the client’s experience of their life and potentially working through the areas that may feel stuck, due to impact of strong inner critic or guilt as a result of difficult issues maybe from childhood abuse, neglect...I work with the LGBTQIA+ community and embrace difference and diversity in my practice.
I Integrate different approaches, Person-Centred as foundation TA helps understand and establish healthy relationship, Gestalt- understanding how past impact present time, element of CBT identify the root causing of your anxiety and enable to reduce its power by reconnecting your mind with your thoughts, feelings and your physical response to those feelings.
I firmly believe that every person is beautifully unique and has inner potential to reach the goal the want at their's own pace. I am non-judgemental and respectful, taking great care by creating a space that you feel comfortable to express yourself "You don't have to be able to see the whole staircase, just take the first step" - Martin Luther King Jr.
