Integrative counselling combines elements from different therapeutic models to create a personalised approach, recognising the complexity of each individual. It offers the opportunity to look at your whole self, considering your mental, physical, and emotional needs. ​One of the benefits of Integrative counselling is that it is flexible and can be adapted depending on the individual’s situation. 

​

There are several therapeutic approaches available, and as a counsellor, I primarily draw from a humanistic perspective. This focuses on self-discovery and responsibilities to help individuals recognise their strengths, potential for positive change, choice and creativity. It supports identifying any obstacles that are preventing you from achieving your full potential, helping you grow into the best version of yourself.

​​

​​Humanistic and Integrative counselling can be helpful for short and long-term issues such as: anxiety, bereavement, depression, low self-esteem, stress, burnout, relationship difficulties,  or trauma. Counselling can help you uncover strengths and learn new skills that will allow you to deal with challenges and adversities in life. The goal is to offer a more holistic and adaptable way of working, allowing a deeper understanding of your concerns from multiple perspectives, whilst exploring your life's tapestry with curiosity and compassion.

​

I place great value on each unique relationship, that is co-created in a safe therapeutic space. In my practice, as recent research shows, I am mindful that the quality of the relationship between client and counsellor is the most reliable predictor of a positive outcome.  The therapeutic relationship may serve as a bridge to once again connect with others. I aim to build a holding, trusting and non-judgemental relationship that fosters self-awareness and encourages clients to explore their own pathway to healing.

I draw from evidence-backed approaches that support healing and personal growth. I integrate Stephen Porges' Polyvagal Theory to help regulate the nervous system through breath, movement, and social connection. Inspired by Viktor Frankl’s Logotherapy, I guide clients in discovering meaning as a source of resilience. I also incorporate Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) to cultivate presence, peace, and fulfillment. These approaches have been shown to be highly effective for anxiety, depression, emotional regulation, and self-compassion.

​​​​My therapeutic practice is also rooted in the philosophy that each individual possesses an inherent capacity for healing and growth. Embracing a therapeutic journey with me means embarking on an avenue that considers your unique experiences, emotions, and aspirations. It's about creating a space where you can explore your deepest truths in a safe, supportive environment.

Ultimately, the hope is that this experience will empower you to better understand yourself and navigate life's complexities with greater confidence and well-being.
