Services
Individual Counselling
I offer one-to-one counselling sessions for adults seeking emotional support. My approach creates a safe space for exploring personal challenges through empathic listening and evidence-based techniques. Clients benefit from tailored sessions addressing anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions, with a focus on fostering self-awareness and emotional resilience.
Trauma Resolution
Specialised trauma therapy incorporates Somatic Experiencing techniques to address body-held stress responses. This approach helps clients process traumatic experiences through gentle awareness-building and nervous system regulation. Sessions focus on restoring emotional balance and developing coping strategies for managing trauma-related symptoms in daily life.
Jungian Depth Psychology
Integrating Carl Jung's theories, this service explores unconscious patterns affecting behaviour and relationships. Through symbolic interpretation and dream analysis, clients gain insights into recurring life themes. The approach supports personal growth by connecting conscious awareness with deeper psychological wisdom for holistic self-understanding.
Ex-Boarders Support
Specialist counselling addresses challenges stemming from boarding school experiences. Drawing on Nick Duffell's research, sessions explore emotional detachment patterns and identity formation difficulties. The therapy provides a compassionate space to process institutional upbringing impacts and develop healthier relational patterns in adulthood.
Open-Ended Therapy
Flexible-duration therapy allows deep exploration of complex issues at the client's pace. Regular weekly sessions create continuity for examining recurring life patterns and emotional blocks. This approach suits clients seeking profound personal transformation through sustained therapeutic engagement and ongoing professional support.
