My Approach

What is the difference between psychotherapy and psychotherapeutic counselling?
Psychotherapy is often a deeper, longer-term journey — one that gently supports those moving through profound trauma, emotional suffering, or life transitions that can leave us feeling lost, overwhelmed, or disconnected from ourselves. I offer a space to slow down and explore the layers beneath what is troubling you, with care, patience, and compassion.

Counselling, while sometimes shorter-term in nature, can be equally transformative. It may focus on a particular dilemma, crossroads, or emotional struggle, helping you make sense of what is unfolding in your life. Through reflection, guidance, and the opportunity to openly share your inner world, counselling can support you in finding clarity and making choices that feel aligned with your authentic self.

Both psychotherapy and psychotherapeutic counselling are for anyone who has reached a point where old coping strategies no longer bring lasting relief — where something within is asking to be heard more deeply.

Together, we create a safe, confidential, and non-judgmental space where your experiences, emotions, and struggles can be explored with curiosity and care. Rather than seeing symptoms as something to simply silence or “fix,” psychotherapy invites us to listen differently — to consider what these symptoms may be expressing, revealing, or asking of you on a deeper level.

Within the presence of a trained professional and compassionate witness, you are invited into a space where every part of your story can be met with understanding, honesty, and humanity.


During sessions I practice according to three main principles:
Non-judgemental - I work with a client’s reality, accepting them as they are and without judgement or prejudice, supporting them towards a journey of self-acceptance.
Empathic - I provide clients with a space to express complex or difficult emotions. People often need to be heard and acknowledged before they can understand what might be holding them back or keeping them caught in an unhealthy cycle.
Empowering - I work with clients to realise the best version of themselves, offering authentic connection, supporting you to realise and manifest your own potential. Authentic empowerment means having the ability to feel safe in your vulnerability, and knowing and accepting your limitations, as well as realising your strengths and developing your relationships.
My practice is best described as relational therapy. It is a non-directive form of therapy, which acknowledges that you are the expert on your life and that I do not claim to have any answers that you cannot find from within yourself. However, it can be helpful to be supported in finding these answers or a path which is where therapy plays an important part.



My part is to listen, accept and assist in enabling you to gain increased awareness of yourself, your environment and the implications of the choices you make, leading you to a more meaningful and fulfilling life. My method relies heavily on a collaboration, with me acting as a guide for you to explore what you need to.
