Areas of Particular Focus

  • Trauma and complex trauma

Support with the emotional, relational and physical effects of single-event, repeated, relational, or developmental trauma. Trauma work is carefully paced, and you will not be expected to disclose or process experiences before you are ready.

  • Addiction and compulsive behaviours

Support with alcohol and other drug use, gambling, online activity, or other repetitive behaviours that have become difficult to control. Counselling can explore not only the behaviour itself, but also the needs it has been meeting and the circumstances that maintain it.

  • Men’s body image and embodied experiences

A space for men to explore body dissatisfaction, appearance pressures, shame, exercise or gym culture, masculinity, ageing, changes in health, self-worth or a sense of disconnection from the body.

  • LGBTQIA+-affirming counselling

Affirming support with identity, belonging, relationships, minority stress, rejection, isolation, shame, or the effects of living within environments that have not always felt accepting or safe.

Therapeutic Approaches

I draw from a range of therapeutic approaches and select them according to your needs, preferences, and goals. These may include:

  • Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT):

Focuses on identifying and changing negative thought patterns and behaviours to improve mood and functioning.

  • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT):

Focuses on accepting what is out of your personal control while committing to taking action that enriches your life.

  • Schema Therapy:

Addresses longstanding patterns, or schemas, that influence thoughts, emotions, behaviours, and relationships.

  • Interpersonal Therapy (IPT):

Addresses interpersonal issues, conflicts, and communication patterns to alleviate symptoms and improve relationships.

  • Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT):

Aims to help individuals become more aware, tolerant, and able to express their emotions, fostering emotional intelligence and resilience.

  • Mindfulness-Based Therapy:

Integrates mindfulness practices and meditation techniques to promote present-moment awareness and acceptance.

  • Existential Therapy:

Explores themes of meaning, freedom, and responsibility to help individuals find purpose and direction in life.

  • Humanistic Therapy:

Emphasises personal growth, self-awareness, and self-actualisation through person-centred therapeutic approaches.

  • Flash Technique:

A brief, carefully paced intervention that may help reduce the emotional intensity associated with distressing memories.​

  • Trauma-Focused Therapy:

Carefully paced approaches that address the effects of trauma while prioritising choice, safety, and readiness.
