My Approach
My approach incorporates a range of theories of counselling and psychotherapy including psychodynamic, psychoanalytic, humanistic, and working relational.
​
I build a therapeutic relationship with my clients providing a safe and supportive environment of trust in a well-balanced environment of understanding, empathy and with a non-judgmental approach to support positive change.
​
Whilst counselling may feel daunting for some, I believe that great awareness of one’s mind can give a more open state of being, and that you become more attuned to your own feelings, thoughts, and desires.
My role is to provide you with a safe space within, whilst we explore the meaning of what you bring. I aim to support you to develop a deeper connection with yourself and your surroundings whilst you build your awareness in order to make positive choices.
"What it makes us realise – once again – is that who we are and what we do occurs only, and always within a rich matrix of relationships; it is only through these relationships that we exist; that we grow, change, and do what we do."
- Trautmann & Erskine

Training and Background
During my training I volunteered at The Awareness Centre in Clapham and within the NHS working with adults in both long-term and short-term counselling. I currently work with children voluntarily within a secondary school.
​
I spent 15 years as a professional in the design industry with a BA Hons in Fashion and Design Studies. I understand the pressures of a work environment, and the everyday demands in life to get things right, to please others and those unspoken expectations.
​
My voyage of self-discovery had begun before my career change, with an interest in Mindfulness and Buddhism.
