Approach to Counselling & How I Work

My approach is warm, compassionate, and client-focused. I believe that each person's journey is unique, and I tailor my sessions to meet individual needs.

I integrate elements of person-centred therapy, cognitive-behavioural techniques, and mindfulness practices to support clients in understanding their emotions, building resilience, and finding practical ways to manage life's challenges.

I work collaboratively with clients, encouraging self-exploration while offering guidance and tools to support positive change. Above all, I aim to create a safe and welcoming space where my clients feel comfortable expressing themselves openly.
