My Approach
Understanding Before Change.
One of the questions people often bring to counselling is: "Why do I keep feeling this way?"
Or perhaps…
The questions are different, but they're often pointing towards the same desire, to better understand ourselves.
Rather than asking, "What's wrong with me?", I prefer to ask different questions.
These aren't questions of blame. They're questions of understanding.
Many of the ways we think, feel and behave today were once intelligent ways of adapting to difficult circumstances. They helped us cope, belong, protect ourselves or survive.
The challenge is that those same patterns can continue long after they're needed.
Together we'll gently connect the dots between your past experiences, your nervous system, your relationships and your current patterns.
As those dots begin to connect, people often experience something incredibly powerful.
Things start to make sense.
And when they make sense, change becomes possible.
How I work

Rather than following one particular model, I tailor therapy to the individual sitting in front of me.
