Welcome,

Having navigated my own path through healing I can offer the support you need to find your direction and inner-strength to create a fulfilling life, build self-compassion, and heal.

There is hope, and together we can figure this out, one step at a time.

I use my lived experiences and training to help you:

Heal from past or current hurts: Neglect, abandonment, abuse, bereavement or other traumas can leave lasting effects. I can help you leave them behind.

Find your direction: Maybe you're chasing perfection or feel lost and stuck, you don't really know who you are and your "why" in life. I can help you gain clarity and work towards a fulfilling life.

Stop self sabotage and ditch the inner critic: I can help you explore the root cause of the negative self talk and self sabotage so you stop beating yourself up. Let's build self acceptance and inner strength together.

Neurodiversity support: Life can be so lonely and tough if you or your loved one is neurodivergent. I can support you so  you don't feel so alone.

As a qualified Humanistic Integrative Counsellor, I utilize a blend of approaches to support your journey of healing, self-discovery and growth:

My Core Humanistic Approaches:

• Person-Centered Therapy: In this collaborative approach, I act as a supportive guide who listens patiently and reflects back your thoughts and feelings. This helps you explore your experiences from a fresh perspective and discover your own solutions, like piecing together a personalized puzzle of yourself. You are the ultimate expert on you, and this therapy empowers you to tap into your inner wisdom and create a more complete picture of who you are.

• Gestalt Therapy: This therapy focuses on the present moment and how your past experiences might be affecting you today. We'll work together to explore these connections and how they influence your current thoughts, feelings, and even physical sensations in your body. Creative tools like drawing or role-playing might be used for deeper exploration.

• Existential Therapy: This therapy tackles life's big questions about meaning, purpose, and freedom. We'll explore what truly matters to you and help you find ways to create a fulfilling life, even amidst challenges. This approach emphasizes your autonomy in taking ownership of your choices and carving your own path.

Additional Techniques:

• Inner Child Work: This technique helps you connect with and heal the younger parts of yourself who may be holding onto past hurts or traumas. By nurturing your inner child, you can build self-compassion and move forward in a more positive way.

• Parts Work: This approach views the mind as having different "parts" that can influence your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Through this work, we can identify and understand these parts and learn how to manage them in a healthy way.

• Solution-Focused Techniques and CBT: I may incorporate elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help you develop practical tools for managing difficult emotions and situations in the present moment. This might involve identifying negative thought patterns and replacing them with more helpful ones.

• Somatic Techniques: I can also guide you through somatic techniques such as breathwork and grounding exercises. These techniques can help you connect with your body and manage physical symptoms of stress or anxiety.

By offering this diverse range of approaches, I can tailor my services to your specific needs and preferences. We can work on both managing current distress and gaining a deeper understanding of the core roots of your struggles to help you process them, heal and thrive.
