My trauma-informed approach to counselling infuses elements of:
-CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy)
-DBT (Dialectical Behaviour Therapy)
-SFBT (Solution-Focused Brief Therapy)
-EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy)
-EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing).
-Mindfulness-based strategies
-Polyvagal theory
As a therapist, I consider myself holistic and eclectic; drawing on my training and experience to help my unique clients to reach their goals for therapy. Holding space while being respectful, genuine, warm, authentic and curious, helps me to create safety within the counselling relationship. Through therapeutic conversations, my clients experience a supported opportunity to self-discover and uncover strengths as they shift, change, grow, and heal.
My areas of expertise include supporting clients to cope with stress, low mood, emotional dysregulation, communication challenges and substance use.
