Methods I use
I work from a person-centered approach, which means I start with your individual experience and what feels most important for you to explore. I use mindfulness-based practices to help bring greater awareness to thoughts, emotions, bodily responses and patterns as they arise, creating space to pause and reflect rather than simply react. I adapt our conversations to what feels most relevant in the moment, while keeping the work collaborative and guided by what you would like to understand or work towards. Where appropriate, I may introduce simple mindfulness or reflective practices that can be continued between sessions. My aim is to help you develop a clearer understanding of yourself and your experiences, while supporting you to connect your insights with meaningful steps in everyday life.
