About me and my practice

Perhaps you are looking for a therapist because you are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, low, or like you have lost your way. Perhaps you are here because you would like to find support on your journey recovering from abuse, or you are currently struggling with a relationship in your life. Or you may be here because you have noticed a tendency to people-please in yourself that is getting in the way of your well-being, and you would like to be able to set clearer boundaries and listen to your own needs more.

I strongly believe that within the safety of a trusting counselling relationship, we can find clarity and a way to move forward, towards healing and growth. I am here to support you in looking for the answers within.

I welcome people of all ages (16+) and identities. I am LGBT QIA+ affirmative and part of the community myself. I work in a trauma-informed way and am committed to anti-oppressive practice.

How I work:

My approach is rooted in person-centred and humanistic counselling. As a therapist, I work with what you bring to the sessions, and you decide what you want to talk about. You are the expert on yourself and your life. I wont give you advice, but I will bring an empathic, engaged and authentic presence to our interactions.

We will explore things at a pace that feels comfortable for you and regularly review our work together. I welcome feedback and my aim as a counsellor is to be open and approachable.

I also work relationally, which means that when it feels useful, I explore the here-and-now of the therapeutic relationship with you in a supportive, collaborative way to help you further explore the issues you bring to counselling.

Please feel free to ask me for more details of how I work.

I speak English, French and Dutch and can offer therapy in any of these languages.

As a registered member of the BACP, I adhere to their ethical framework and guidelines on supervision, insurance, and continuing professional development.

Experience

Alongside my private practice, I volunteer with York Womens Counselling.

My previous experience includes counselling at 1-2-1 Counselling York, where I provided short-term therapy to adults, and York College, where I worked with students aged 16 and over. Before training as a counsellor, I volunteered with the Samaritans, answering phone calls. In a previous life, I taught languages and literature at university.
