What I Offer

I offer a range of holistic and nature-based approaches to complement your counselling. This may include walk-and-talk therapy or forest bathing (Shinrin Yoku), mindfulness and sound therapy, psychodrama, or Gestalt therapy exercises. We can also use creative techniques with natural objects, archetypal symbols, and miniatures. This could be to create a genogram to look at family patterns or using sand tray therapy to gently and safely explore the unconscious when we are building resilience around trauma.

Neurodivergent Affirming Therapy

The adaptive and creative way I work is ideal for Autistic and ADHD clients. I regularly update my understanding and training to ensure I maintain a welcoming and inclusive counselling practice. Although neurotypical myself, I have lived experience with neurodivergent friends, family members, and clients. It is important to me that I work in a way that affirms neurodiversity rather than focuses on deficits.

Gender, Sexuality and Identity

All parts of you are welcome, whichever way you identify. If you are unsure about aspects of your identity, gender or sexuality, we can explore that together. We are all unique, and your therapy will be too, as we collaborate to meet your needs and achieve your goals in a way that feels safe and respectful.

Intersectionality

I understand that there are many factors that make you who you are and that these can influence how you see the world. Your background, relationships, culture, beliefs and life experiences have shaped your journey. I will work with you as an individual, without making assumptions, striving to create an inclusive space where you feel heard and understood.

Connection

Research shows that therapy works best when the relationship between client and counsellor is authentic and based upon trust. Let’s chat and see if we can create this together.
