My Approach
I am an Integrative Counsellor, this means I use a variety of therapeutic models to suit your unique needs, emotionally, mentally, and practically. ​
At the heart of my work is the therapeutic relationship. I believe this is one of the most important aspects of effective therapy. I strive to offer a warm, compassionate, and non-judgmental space where you can speak openly and feel truly heard. Building trust and safety, as these are the foundations from which meaningful change and healing can emerge. ​
I deeply respect the importance of working at your own pace. Therapy isn’t a race or a checklist, it’s a personal journey that unfolds differently for each person. Whether you’re exploring past trauma, navigating the complexities of neurodivergence, or seeking to improve communication in your relationships or family life, we’ll take the time you need to explore what matters most to you. I’ll walk alongside you with empathy and respect, creating a collaborative space to support your thoughts and feelings.

Clients have shared our sessions have helped them find a greater sense of agency, practical tools they can use to help navigate potential triggers, and a clearer understanding of what’s going on beneath the surface. A place where they can make sense of their past, where change feels possible.


Walk and Talk sessions
Walk and talk offers a gentle alternative to traditional indoor counselling, taking our sessions outdoors into nature. Nature provides a peaceful, grounding backdrop, offering space to breathe, reflect, and reconnect.
The steady rhythm of walking side by side can make conversation feel more natural and less intense, helping thoughts and emotions flow more freely. Being outdoors can also support relaxation, ease anxiety, and bring a sense of calm and perspective.
Walk and Talk sessions and Neurodiversity
Sometimes a change of environment can help you find a new perspective.
For neurodivergent clients, walk and talk can be particularly supportive. The movement, fresh air, and sensory elements of the natural environment can help with focus, regulation, and processing emotions.
Being outside can also reduce the pressure of eye contact and traditional social cues. I find this approach gives us the freedom to work in a way that feels comfortable and supportive for you.
