Regardless of the type of session you choose, my unique approach offers a Comprehensive, Client-Centred Approach to Your Well-Being.

I believe that you are the expert in your own life, and my role is to support and guide you in a way that feels right for you. I integrate a variety of evidence-based therapeutic approaches and take a bio-psychosocial approach, meaning I consider your mental, emotional, physical, and social well-being as a whole.

Together, we’ll create a plan that supports your unique needs and goals, guided by the following core principles, which ensure that every session is personalised, comprehensive, and empowering.

1. Client-Led Therapy

➡️ You are in control of your journey—I’m here to listen, support, and empower you.

➡️ Sessions are tailored to your needs, goals, and comfort level.

➡️ Therapy is a collaborative process where we work together to create meaningful change.

2. A Blended Approach to Therapy

I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all method. Instead, I draw from different evidence-based therapies to find what works best for you. This approach is rooted in strengths-based therapy, which focuses on your existing resources and capabilities, empowering you to navigate challenges and grow. Here's how different therapeutic techniques can help:

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) – Helping you shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.

  • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) – Supporting you in embracing change and living with intention.

  • Psychodynamic Therapy – Exploring deep-seated emotions and past experiences.

  • Humanistic & Person-Centered Therapy – Fostering self-awareness and personal growth.

  • Mindfulness & Somatic Techniques – Helping regulate emotions and reduce stress.

This flexibility means I can tailor my approach to suit your unique experiences.

3. Looking at the Whole Picture

I understand that mental health is not just about thoughts and emotions—it’s influenced by many factors, and I take a whole-person approach to well-being:

  • Biological – Your physical health, sleep, diet, exercise, and genetics.

  • Psychological – Your emotions, thoughts, behaviours, and past experiences.

  • Social – Your relationships, work-life balance, cultural influences, and environment.

4. Supporting Your Physical Health & Lifestyle

Our mental and physical health are deeply connected, and sometimes it's important to explore aspects of your life that might be contributing to your overall well-being and struggles. Stress, sleep quality, nutrition, exercise, medical conditions, and even social connections all play a role in how you feel, both emotionally and physically.

🛏️ Sleep – Helping you improve rest and recovery.

🏃 Exercise – Encouraging movement as a tool for well-being.

🥗 Diet & Nutrition – Exploring how food impacts your mood and energy.

🩺 Medical Considerations – Working alongside healthcare providers when necessary.

😩 Stress Management – Identifying triggers and developing healthy coping strategies

5. A Whole-Person Perspective

☑️ I take the time to understand both your mental and physical well-being.
☑️ I encourage self-care practices that help build long-term resilience.
☑️ I recognise the mind-body connection in healing and recovery.
