Every person and their circumstances are different, so I tailor my approach to your individual needs. My work draws on counselling, hypnotherapy, EFT and mindfulness, allowing us to explore which approaches may be most helpful for you. I will take time to understand what brings you to therapy and work collaboratively with you to find a way forward at a pace that feels right.

​

Counselling

As an Integrative Counsellor, I draw on person-centred and psychodynamic approaches to help you explore your thoughts, feelings and experiences. Our sessions offer a confidential, non-judgemental space where you can talk openly, feel listened to and begin to make sense of what may be troubling you.

​

I believe the therapeutic relationship is central to the work. By developing trust and understanding, we can explore difficult emotions, recognise patterns and discover new perspectives, helping you develop greater self-awareness and find ways to manage life's challenges.

​

Hypnotherapy

I am a Medical Hypnotherapist and use relaxation, breathing techniques, visualisation and guided suggestions to help you enter a light hypnotic trance — a natural state that can feel similar to deep relaxation or meditation.

​

You remain in control throughout, and we work at a pace that feels comfortable for you. I take time to understand what you would like help with, explain how hypnotherapy works and discuss a suitable approach with you. Where appropriate, hypnotherapy can complement counselling or other medical treatment.

​

The relationship between therapist and client is important, and my counselling training helps me consider both your emotional needs and your individual circumstances when working with you.

​

Mindfulness

As an accredited Mindfulness Now teacher, I offer individual and group mindfulness sessions, including work in schools and local communities.

Sessions gently introduce meditation, guided mindfulness exercises and mindful movement, always at your own pace and with awareness of your own body. I also help you develop a home practice, supported by a journal to record your experiences and progress.

​

Mindfulness is not just something we practise during a session. It can gradually become part of everyday life — whether eating a meal, going for a walk or taking a moment to pause and notice what is around you. With practice, it can help you respond more thoughtfully to challenges and appreciate everyday experiences more fully.

​

EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique)​

EFT, sometimes known as “tapping”, combines focused attention on a particular concern with gentle tapping on specific points on the body. It may help people explore and manage difficult emotions, stress and anxiety.

​

I tailor sessions to your individual needs and explain the process so you can decide whether this approach feels right for you. EFT can also be used alongside other therapeutic approaches where appropriate.
