My counselling and psychotherapy qualification is in person-centred therapy, and this forms the core of my approach.  I believe that clients are experts in their own experiences and that as a therapist I should provide empathy, authenticity and non-judgment to help clients tap into their own potential for change and growth.  As well as my core training, I have completed a certification in third-wave cognitive behavioural therapies.  These draw more on skills work and how acceptance and change can work together.  Working with third-wave CBT includes skills and ideas from Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT), and Mindfulness.

​

So, using you, the client, as the expert on your own life, we'd work together to develop skills and tools to achieve your therapeutic goals.  All of this is supported through a neuroaffirming attitude that's been developed through my qualifications and experience in the world of education, and also specialised qualifications for therapists in supporting neurodivergence.

​

All my counseling sessions take place online or over the phone, giving you the flexibility to access support from the comfort of your own space. This can make it easier to fit sessions into your routine, get rid of travel time, and create a familiar environment for our conversations.  It also means you can access specialist neurodivergent support from anywhere in the country.
