My Approach

My approach is caring, warm, professional and direct. I want to understand you and what brings you to counselling so that we can identify what your needs and wishes are, what gets in the way of fulfilling those and identify tools and strategies to help you meet your goals and dreams. 

I have training in many areas of counselling and psychotherapy which influence my work and allow me to respond skillfully to your needs, temperament, experience and desired outcomes. 

My training and experience includes the work of Terry Real, John and Julie Gottman, Stan Tatkin, Michelle Weiner Davis, Peter Levine, Deb Dana, Bessel Van de kolk and Gabor Mate, to name a few. I am also trained in Buddhist Psychology and Mindfulness; Dialectical Behavioural Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy and Motivational Interviewing.

While counselling is a collaborative process and outcomes cannot be guaranteed, the work we do together is a worthwhile investment in your growth and well being.
