Person-Centred Counselling 

I offer person-centred counselling as the foundation of our work together. My approach is based on empathy, unconditional acceptance, and genuineness. Being accepted as you are allows you to explore your thoughts and feelings in a supportive environment. I know that living in the world can be filled with so many unknowns, and that feeling like everyone else was given the instruction manual of life. I understand how frustrating it can be, how different you may feel in the world. I aim to hold a space where you can embrace your differences and work to understand your needs.  I believe that you are the expert of yourself, even if it doesn't feel like it right now. The approach draws on the work of Carl Rogers, who developed it through years of counselling research. This process continues and has led to the development of many tribes. The way I work is part of the experiential tribe of the person-centred approach. This means I work with my felt sense, connecting with my empathetic experience of the here and now.  

Emotional Freedom Techniques

I am a certified Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) practitioner, also known as tapping. Tapping specific areas of the body helps release trapped or stored emotions. Tapping (EFT) can provide a gentle way of working with difficult areas of your past experiences. Tapping (EFT) does not require you to tell the story you are working with. Tapping (EFT) is a gentle way of working with difficult memories or traumatic events. The tapping can be provided by me tapping directly on your body in a pre-agreed way, or by guiding you to support you in doing it for yourself. I can also teach you how to use the technique outside of sessions to help you with areas such as panic attacks and anxiety.  I incorporate this approach within a person-centred way of working. In all my work, you will guide me, and we will work at your pace. ​​
