MY APPROACH

A conversation, with direction.

I bring counselling, coaching, nursing experience and evidence-informed tools together in a way that is collaborative and grounded in your real life. Some sessions are reflective; others involve practical skills, communication tools, sensory awareness or a clear plan for the weeks ahead.

My work draws on attachment-informed practice, Gottman Method Couples Therapy training, Sensory Intelligence®, solution-focused approaches and practical psychoeducation. The approach is adapted to the person or relationship — never the other way around.
