I hope to build a relationship with my clients that feels safe, respectful, and deeply human, one where they feel seen not just for their struggles, but for their strength, insight, and capacity to grow. I want the therapeutic space to feel like a pause from the noise, a place where they can bring their truth, in whatever shape it takes, without fear of judgment or pressure to ‘fix’ anything immediately.

To make the counselling process collaborative, I’m intentional about checking in with clients regularly and asking what feels useful, what doesn’t, and what they’d like more or less of. I share reflections and observations, but always leave space for them to disagree, clarify, or take the conversation in a different direction. I invite them to bring in their language, their pace, and their understanding of their own life.

I try not to position myself as the ’expert’ in the room, but rather as a fellow traveller, someone who brings curiosity, presence, and psychological tools, but believes that the client is the expert of their own story. We co-create the work as we go with honesty, care, and a shared commitment to their growth and well-being.

My approach to therapy is relational, humanistic, and grounded in empathy. At its core, I believe that healing happens in a safe, trusting relationship one where you feel seen, heard, and accepted just as you are. I don’t follow a rigid, one-size-fits-all method. Instead, I draw from different approaches depending on what you need, this may include elements from person-centered therapy, psychodynamic work, and trauma-informed practices.

I pay attention not just to what’s being said, but also to what’s underneath, your emotional patterns, relational dynamics, and the ways your past may be shaping your present. We might gently explore the roots of your struggles, while also finding ways to cope and care for yourself in the here and now.

Above all, therapy with me is a collaborative process. You’re in the driver’s seat and I’m here to walk alongside you, ask meaningful questions, and help you make sense of things at your pace. There’s no pressure to ‘perform’ or have it all figured out. Just come as you are.
