Traditional Talk Therapy
Talking is how we connect and make sense of things. Talk therapy is built on a simple idea: saying what's bothering you out loud helps put it in perspective. It's not just about airing problems, it's about working through them toward real solutions.
Identifying Your Resources
When life gets difficult, it's easy to lose sight of your own strengths. Part of my work is helping you reconnect with the resources you already have, whether that's personal strengths, relationships, belief and spirituality, or hobbies and interests, so you can draw on them going forward.
Creative Counselling
Not everything can be put into words straight away. Creative counselling uses other forms of self-expression, painting, drawing, writing, clay, music or poetry, to help you access and understand what's underneath the surface. Clients often find it eases self-esteem, stress, anxiety and depression in ways that talking alone doesn't.

Mindfulness
Mindfulness means paying attention to your thoughts, feelings, body and environment in the present moment, without judging any of it. It's a practical tool for calmer breathing, lower stress and anxiety, and better focus, and I build it into sessions where it's useful
Bodywork
We don't just think and feel, we experience life through our bodies too. Bodywork explores how emotions show up physically, and understanding that connection can be a powerful part of therapy.

No One Size Fits All
Everyone is different, so therapy should be too. I work mainly from a person-centred approach, building trust as the foundation, and I bring in other methods as needed: solution-focused therapy, CBT and mindfulness among them. Together, we'll identify the habits, beliefs and behaviours that are holding you back, and replace them with ones that serve you better.
