My Story

I’ve been around the block for a while, have dynamic experiences in different areas, and this has helped develop an integrative approach to therapy.  I have a solid base of CBT, which helps us to develop a shared understanding of the presenting difficulties and develop a path towards goals.  Depending on what you might need, we can adapt sessions to provide a counseling approach that might be as having a safe space to express difficult thoughts/emotions or even relationship difficulties. Additionally, we can adapt to provide structured tools for distress tolerance, communication style, or emotional regulation.      

Although I will be led by you, my aim within the sessions to help build a stronger awareness of emotions, whilst developing skills to manage these differently, with the overarching goal of teaching you to become your own therapist. 

Within the session, I will help you explore areas of difficulty whilst breaking them down to make it easier to work towards recovery.  I am very passionate and motivated to adapt to supporting you in building a life you feel is worth living.   I can be the guide through the difficult parts and stand next to you to celebrate the wins.   

It might help for you to know that I have an ADHD diagnosis,  which helps me to think creatively whilst being in tune with others’ emotions.
