My approach is humanistic and deeply rooted in person鈥慶entred therapy, meaning I prioritise empathy, respect, and your pace. There鈥檚 no expectation to have the 鈥渞ight鈥� words 鈥� you set the focus and pace of each conversation. Some sessions may be reflective; others may be about making sense of patterns or emotions as they arise. Together we鈥檒l explore what matters most to you in a way that feels safe and manageable.

Therapy is a collaborative process. Over time, compassionate counselling can help you:

Gain clarity and self鈥憉nderstanding

Reconnect with your authentic self

Develop self鈥憈rust and resilience

Navigate relationships and life changes with stronger emotional grounding

I currently offer online sessions via Zoom and in鈥憄erson work at Sheffield Mind Revive. If you鈥檙e unsure what would feel right for you, we can discuss this together. 

Our first session is a space for us to settle in and get to know one another. We鈥檒l go over any questions or thoughts you might have after completing the referral form, and I鈥檒l check in around anything you feel is important to share.

This session is also a chance for me to begin getting to know you 鈥� what鈥檚 been happening for you, what鈥檚 brought you to therapy, and what you might be hoping for from our work together. If you have any goals or objectives in mind, we can explore those gently, and if you don鈥檛, that鈥檚 absolutely okay too.

There鈥檚 no pressure to talk about everything or to know where to start. We鈥檒l move at a pace that feels right for you, and my focus is on creating a calm, supportive space where you can begin to feel at ease.
