Psychotherapeutic Counselling is a powerful and supportive process that can help individuals navigate a wide range of mental health and emotional challenges. Through this work, I offer a compassionate, gentle, and professional approach to help you manage distressing feelings, improve your daily functioning, and enhance your overall sense of well-being and self-worth.

​

A fundamental aspect of psychotherapeutic counselling is confidentiality. In our sessions, you will have a secure and non-judgmental space to talk openly about any concerns with a trained, impartial professional. This creates the safety needed for honest expression, personal growth, and meaningful healing.

​

Counselling can be either short-term, focusing on immediate concerns, or longer-term, addressing deeper or more complex issues that require time and careful exploration. Sessions typically take place once a week and last for one hour, providing consistent support. We will work collaboratively, setting clear and achievable goals and adapting our approach as your needs evolve.

​

There are many ways of working within psychotherapeutic counselling, but at the heart of them all is the therapeutic relationship — the foundation for healing and positive change. My approach is rooted in offering a warm, genuine, and professional connection, with a deep commitment to confidentiality and respect for your individuality. In our initial conversations, I will take time to understand your concerns thoroughly so that we can find the most effective and tailored way forward.

​

I trained in Pluralistic Counselling because I recognise that no single approach works for everyone. We all have different needs, experiences, and ways of making sense of the world. Pluralistic counselling is built on collaboration, flexibility, and a deep respect for individual preferences.

​

Rather than adhering to a single method, pluralistic counselling draws from a range of therapeutic approaches — including person-centred, cognitive-behavioural, existential, and solution-focused therapies. Together, we will explore what approaches feel most helpful to you and adapt our work as your needs change over time.

 

When working with me, you are an active partner in your counselling journey. We will work together to:

​

• Clarify what you hope to gain from counselling

• Explore a range of strategies and tools that may help

• Adjust the approach based on what’s working (and what isn’t)

 

Whether you are looking to make sense of past experiences, manage anxiety, improve relationships, or simply deepen your self-understanding, pluralistic counselling offers a compassionate and personalised path forward.

 

Psychotherapeutic counselling can help with a range of concerns, including:

​

• Anxiety (e.g., generalised anxiety, panic attacks, social anxiety)

• Depression and low mood

• Trauma (including PTSD and complex trauma)

• Relationship difficulties (with partners, family, friends, colleagues)

• Attachment issues (often rooted in early life experiences)

• Self-esteem and confidence challenges

• Grief and loss

• Stress (work-related or life pressures)​

• Self-harm and suicidal thoughts

​

Why Choose a Pluralistic Approach?

​

• Choice and flexibility: You’re not limited to a single way of working.

• Empowerment: Your voice and preferences are central to the process.

• Holistic support: We draw on a wide range of tools to support your unique journey.​

• ​

Pluralistic counselling is ideal for those who value a tailored, responsive therapeutic experience. It honours your individuality and fosters a genuine spirit of collaboration.
