Counselling

Counselling / Talk Therapy

A calm, supportive space to explore emotions, relationships, trauma and life challenges through conversation, reflection and grounding practices.

My Approach to Counselling

My counselling approach is gentle, relational and trauma‑informed. I work with presence and attunement, helping you explore what feels important without pressure or expectation. Sessions can include talking, creative processes or quiet reflection — whatever supports you best.

My work is guided by: Compassionate Inquiry (trained with Dr Gabor Maté). A trauma‑sensitive, body‑aware approach that helps you gently explore the deeper patterns, beliefs and emotional experiences that shape your life. Compassionate Inquiry supports you to:

notice what is happening in your body
understand the roots of emotional pain
develop self‑compassion
reconnect with your authentic self

This approach integrates beautifully with both talking therapy and creative processes.

What Counselling Can Support

Counselling offers a steady place to:

make sense of your experiences
explore emotions safely
understand patterns in relationships
navigate stress, overwhelm or uncertainty
process trauma at a pace that feels right
build internal resources and self‑understanding
reconnect with your strengths and values

Some people come with a clear focus. Others come because something feels heavy, confusing or too much. Both are welcome.

What Sessions Feel Like

Sessions are calm, steady and grounded. You set the pace. We follow what feels safe and possible, allowing insight and change to emerge naturally.

You don’t need to prepare anything. You simply come as you are.

Counselling and Art Therapy

Counselling can be offered:

on its own
blended with art therapy
alongside creative modalities such as clay, sandplay or grounding practices

Some people prefer talking. Some prefer creative expression. Many find a combination helpful.

We decide together what feels most supportive.
