Changing the Story

I believe that everyone has their own unique story that is rooted in and intertwined with a bigger picture; family, culture, the wider world, etc. Challenges can therefore arise in many ways and manifest in multiple forms throughout life. As an integrative counsellor, I work alongside clients, focusing on their needs and adapting therapeutic methods and techniques, to their distinctive story. I do this through a holistic approach, honouring the fact that as human beings our bodies, emotions, thoughts and responses are all deeply interlinked, which neuroscience is increasingly revealing.
I also believe that compassionate, non-judgemental relationship is central to therapeutic work, cultivating an acceptance that supports one to embrace themselves and their life journey with kindness. This in turn supports greater connection with oneself, others and the wider word. Whilst we cannot always change our circumstances, I believe we can, through compassion, transform our relationship with ourselves and our circumstances.

Qualifications and interests
I have a Diploma in Integrative Counselling and I am currently completing an MA in Therapeutic Counselling and Psychotherapy. I am also an individual member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Working for the past two years as a counsellor with Kinergy, a voluntary organisation specialising in sexual abuse and sexual violence, has given me experience in this field.
