My Approach

I am a Relational Integrative counsellor which means we would work collaboratively. I offer a non-judgemental space for you to explore your feelings, thoughts and behaviours at your own pace. I have personally found the therapeutic relationship to be extremely healing as it provides support to explore what you may feel unable to elsewhere. My belief is that being heard and accepted can help to deal with a range of emotional problems.

Being an 'Integrative' counsellor simply means I am trained in and draw upon a range of approaches to counselling and our work is tailored to suit your individual needs. The sessions are likely to be open-ended, or it may include goal-specific counselling which can be more short-term. This may include:

looking at thinking and behaviour patterns
managing difficult feelings
early developmental experiences
traumatic experiences
ways of relating with others and yourself.

I also work for a mental health charity and have a broad range of experience, including but not limited to: trauma, abuse, relationship problems, infidelity, suicidal ideation, sexuality, anxiety, depression, existential questions, sexual issues, self-esteem, loneliness, addiction, neurodiversity, loss, bereavement, bullying, work difficulties and family issues.

Inclusive

I am compassionate and committed to ensuring my practice is an inclusive and respectful space for all; regardless of sexuality, gender identity, race, religion, age, body size or ability.

About Me

I am a fully qualified and registered Psychotherapeutic Counsellor, working both in private practice and for Suffolk Mind. As a counsellor, I aim to provide a secure, committed and confidential environment in which you are seen and heard and can safely explore thoughts, feelings and behaviours. This includes any questions or anxieties you may have about beginning therapy which can feel confusing and scary.
