How I work
Being an "integrative" counsellor means I am trained in various forms of counselling and use a range of techniques in my sessions. The most commonly known form of counselling is Cognitive Behavioural Therapy or CBT, this is one of the practices I can use in our sessions. Other forms of counselling I use are Person - Centred Therapy and Creative Counselling.
I mainly work in a "humanistic" way which simply means I aim to support you, the client, in a non-judgemental, empathetic way and empower you to find your own way whilst holding the space to do that. I aim to work in a collaborative way, giving you the tools to navigate through life whilst having conversations about the work and finding the best way to support you.
​Some people may find it difficult to verbally communicate how they are feeling, I offer alternative ways to explore emotions and behaviour through creative forms such as drawing, writing, musically or through movement like dance.
