Approach
My
I have a warm and down-to-earth approach to counselling. I recognise that starting therapy can feel challenging, so I strive to create a space where you feel comfortable, supported, and at ease from the very beginning. My work is relational, and I deeply believe that emotional safety and trust are the foundation of any successful therapy. When these are established, they allow for the vulnerability, openness, and engagement necessary to create meaningful, lasting change. Together, we will work collaboratively to identify patterns, increase self-awareness, and build resilience, empowering you to make progress at a pace that feels right for you.
I incorporate training and experience in both the person-centred approach and attachment-based psychotherapy. I have also completed Rewind trauma therapy training.
I specialise in high-functioning anxiety and have vast experience in helping people who:
Want to let go of negative self-talk and low self-esteem
Have experienced trauma, shame, or neglect in childhood
Battle imposter syndrome, perfectionism, and/or burnout
Are fed up of being in a never ending loop of feeling less than and not good enough
Feel overwhelmed with stress or fears of abandonment
Have strained or unhealthy relationships
Want to gain self-acceptance and overcome their insecurities
Person-centred Counselling
My core practitioner training is person-centred, which means that I work with you in a way that helps you to find a path of freedom and self-discovery. I believe that my approach encourages you to reach a greater understanding of yourself and any issues you are facing. I can support you to find who you truly are and to reconnect with your wants, needs, and values. I believe that you know yourself best and so I work from within your perspective, where you can find your answers and choose resolutions that fit and feel right for you. I believe that this can help you to expand upon your self-belief and develop more trust within your capabilities and decision-making; ultimately improving your self-confidence and boosting your self-esteem.
Attachment-based Psychotherapy
Attachment-based psychotherapy believes in the importance of safe and secure relationships in early childhood. It proposes that our primary caregivers determine the pattern of how we interpret ourselves, others, and the world around us. My aim is to provide a safe and secure emotional experience to support you in creating a new pathway in life. By incorporating this into my approach, I can help you strengthen your relationship with yourself and others so that you can experience fewer conflicts, improve your emotional regulation and social/communication skills, and reduce feelings of anxiety. I often include psychoeducation in sessions to support communication, increase awareness, and normalise experiences.
Rewind Trauma Therapy
The rewind technique, also known as the visual/kinaesthetic dissociation (VKD) technique, is a psychological therapeutic method used to treat trauma, phobias, OCD, and PTSD. This technique can help you reprocess your trauma, so that it reduces and neutralises the emotional impact of the memory, making it less distressing over time. It can help you restore your emotional and psychological wellbeing and begin to rebuild your life; whether that be return to work, social activities, connections and/or relationships. It is a popular method as it doesn't require you to disclose details of the traumatic event, and it can be sufficient whether focusing on a single incident or prolonged exposure to harm. Within my practice, use of the rewind technique is most commonly weaved into long-term therapy with existing clients, however, it can be conducted as a standalone treatment across 1-2 sessions.
