“As a humanistic and integrative psychotherapist, I believe in the authenticity of the therapeutic relationship and the uniqueness of each client. My work is firmly rooted in the Person-Centred approach, placing my clients and their personal circumstances at the centre of the work. I meet each client in a place where they are at in their life’s journey, and work collaboratively to accompany them in addressing whatever it is that has brought them bravely into the therapy room. I provide a confidential, safe and non-judgemental space, working gently at a pace guided by my client”.

“As human beings we are born to connect. When we are seen, heard and feel secure in the world, then the world feels safe enough for us to explore. When we find our true sense of purpose and establish a secure sense of self, we feel confident to present ourselves and engage in our environment”.
