How I work

I offer individual sessions with adults. My work is integrative, which means I draw on several therapeutic traditions rather than fitting you to a single method. It is also relational and developmental: I am interested in how you learned to be in the world, and in what happens between us, because relationship is where most of the change actually happens.

I work in a trauma-informed way, at your pace and never ahead of it. Nothing has to be told before you are ready. I also pay attention to the body: to breath, sensation, and what is felt before it can be spoken. For some people the body has been unfamiliar or unsafe territory. We go gently, and only as far as is useful.

I work within the BACP Ethical Framework for the Counselling Professions, and I train under the UKCP Code of Ethics and Professional Practice, receiving regular clinical supervision, as required by my professional bodies.
