Counselling

What is counselling?

Counselling is sometimes called “talk therapy”.

My counselling approach draws upon psychology, counselling and health promotion. I use a blend of evidence-based techniques which are neuro-affirming and trauma-informed, drawing upon Acceptance and Commitment (ACT), Narrative and Solution-Focused Therapies.

What can I expect?

The content of sessions is guided by what you want to focus on at the time, but may include exploring:

• your preferred future and identifying steps to move towards it

• values and identifying what’s important to you

• fluctuating energy levels and managing cycles of burnout

• making space for uncomfortable feelings

• self-narrative and creating more self-compassionate stories.

Is counselling suitable for me?

I work with adults of all ages and genders who want

• guidance navigating life changes

• to improve their relationship with themselves

• to explore fluctuating energy levels and manage cycles of burnout.

I welcome adults of all ages and genders, including:

• neurodivergent people (e.g. AuDHD, ADHD, autistic, dyslexic)

• those with burnout, chronic conditions and invisible disability

• peri-menopausal and menopausal women.
