I am Neurodivergent affirming Counsellor, with lived experience of Autism, and am a humanistic, trauma informed and integrative counsellor. I work within a range of modalities including cognitive behavioural therapy, Narrative Therapy, and Person Centred based approach. I draw on a range of different approaches to explore what works best for you, whilst maintaining a safe space. I also include creative aspects and nature based Counselling, including mindfulness, to aid client's explorations.
Whatever brings you here to explore the option of counselling, I am here to offer you a safe space, free of judgements, where you'll be listened to and where your feelings and experience are at the core of the therapeutic process. Together, we can shape this space, and facilitate a safe enviroment where voices can be heard and validated, and life experience is honoured.
