My approach

My approach to counselling is humanistic, which means that I believe you are the expert in your own world and my main aim is to give you the time and space to work out your own way forward. I also have a strong interest in existential counselling, which helps clients to examine the meaning of their life, the choices they have and how to face anxiety about death. In my own counselling, I have found that having someone listen and understand me has had a transformative effect on the way I think about my life and make decisions. Although starting counselling was very hard for me, I’m so glad I found the courage. I hope that I will be able to offer you a counselling experience that is helpful and supportive.
