Working Together

In our work together, I will bring acceptance and empathy with a relational approach that draws on attachment theory, allowing you to experience a safe, secure, holding relationship where you are able to explore your feelings and experiences without fear of judgement. Alongside exploring thoughts and feelings, I pay close attention to what is happening on a non-verbal level- through physical sensations, body language, tone and facial expression and seek to support your understanding of your mind and body connection. I draw on Polyvagal and trauma informed approaches in our work. 

I work in a relational, attachment informed way, incorporating humanistic ideas and existentialism in my counselling philosophy. 

It is my belief that there is no ‘one size fits all’ approach to counselling, there is not one answer or one way that works for every client, but counselling should be an exploration of ideas and an ongoing conversation between counsellor and client to find the best, unique fit for each client. Whilst offering a core or fundamental approach, as outlined above, I will work with you to explore what you would like from counselling.
