Integrative Counselling

What I Offer:

I use an integrative approach, combining talk therapy with somatic therapy. This allows me to work with a wide variety of issues including:

  • Anxiety
  • Depression
  • Low self-esteem
  • A lack of direction or purpose
  • Burnout
  • Family conflicts
  • Psycho-somatic issues
  • Developmental, post-developmental and inter-generational trauma

How I Work:

My approach is built on three main pillars:

  1. The Therapeutic Relationship:
    Many of our personal issues stem from relational wounds; where we have felt judged, rejected, neglected, abandoned, misunderstood, belittled or abused. The relationship with a therapist is meant to provide conditions which are supportive rather than hurtful; presence, understanding, compassion, non-judgement, attunement and consistency. This helps you to feel safe, to feel a sense of self-worth and to learn healthy ways of relating with others.

  2. Understanding & Insight:
    The next part of this work will focus on helping you understand and make sense of the issues you are currently facing in your life. We work together to build bridges between current feelings and relational dynamics with what has been experienced in the past. This insight can help you gain clarity and perspective, allowing you to identify the root causes of your struggles.

  3. Somatic (Body-Based) Therapy:
    Another layer of the work is connecting with your body to deeply process and release any suppressed emotions. This goes beyond traditional talk therapy and taps into the deeper, unconscious layers of emotional pain. Through integrating approaches such as Brainspotting Therapy, we can address emotional wounds that may have been neglected, including those tied to your inner child or past trauma. This deeper healing often leads to more lasting transformation.

Benefits of Counselling:

Clients who have worked with me often report profound changes. Some of the most common benefits include:

  • Increased self-awareness and insight into your emotional life
  • Greater presence in daily activities without running on autopilot
  • Healthier boundaries in relationships
  • More effective communication with others
  • Higher self-worth and self-compassion
  • Better relationship with your body and overall well-being
  • Less tendencies towards addiction and other forms of avoidance
  • More peace of mind and emotional clarity

Why work with me?

I create a judgement-free, supportive space where you can express yourself openly and authentically. I am naturally warm and good-humoured, helping you feel at ease as we work through any challenges or discomforts that may arise during the sessions. Whether you’re facing something difficult or exploring new emotional terrain, I’ll be here to guide you with empathy and respect.
