​
My counselling style is grounded in evidence-based theories and skills that are tailored to your unique needs. I am trained in multiple theories having completed the Diploma in Counselling Skills and theories and therefore practice as an integrative counsellor as well as person centred.
I have a Diploma in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and have experience of working with exposure therapy (using visualisation techniques) to help with phobia and anxiety disorders.
​
I also have a certificate in Dialectical Behavioural Therapy which means I can work with you and help with new techniques to help manage / regulate emotions if these are becoming overwhelming for you. DBT is great for issues such as Border Personality Disorder (BPD), self-harm, depression, anxiety, addictions and PTSD.
​
I never work in just one theory, my person-centred style allows me to adapt to you and what you need.
