Creative approaches
Images, objects and simple creative materials can help when words are not the easiest starting point.
How I practise
Integrative counselling in a relaxed environment.
I work integratively, which gives me the flexibility to draw on different therapeutic approaches and ways of working according to the person in front of me and what develops through our work together.
Counselling with me is often conversational, but it can also be creative, practical or experiential. Sometimes a different way of looking at or exploring something can help when words alone don't quite get there.
I work responsively rather than following a set programme or assuming the same approach will suit everyone. The way we work can develop and change over time, with the therapeutic relationship at the centre.
Ways of working
Flexible, professional and shaped around you.
Relaxed counselling
Sessions are professional without feeling formal, in a calm and welcoming setting.
Walk and talk
Walking side by side can feel less intense and may make thinking and talking easier.
Neurodiversity-affirming
Pace, structure, communication and sensory needs can be adapted without treating difference as a problem.
Integrative
I draw on different therapeutic ideas and methods according to what is useful for you.
Person-centred
Your experiences, needs and choices remain central to the work.
Working together
A professional relationship without judgement.
Counselling is not about being told what to do. It offers time to examine your thoughts, feelings, relationships and experiences honestly.
