I adore IFS because it honours the multiplicity of the mind - recognising that we’re all made up of many different ‘parts,’ each with their own story, role, and wisdom - while never losing sight of the ‘Self’ that’s been there all along. It’s a compassionate, non-pathologising way of working that helps us to build curiosity and connection with our inner world.

EFT is a modality that goes beyond surface-level arguments and gets to the heart of your emotional needs, which is incredibly powerful in couples counselling. This helps couples to build secure attachment bonds, which can bring about profound healing to those with deeply-rooted attachment wounding. I love to help couples identify and name the “negative cycles” they enter into, expanding their understanding of one another and empowering them to rewrite their own story.

Working with the wisdom of the body is a truly powerful practice. Expanding our self-understanding to incorporate the rich, complex, often-bypassed terrain of sensation opens up a whole new world of possibilities for healing and takes you beyond cognitive level counselling, which can feel somewhat limiting.

MSC uses mindfulness and compassion to go within, far beyond talking at a head-level, to soften toward ourselves in the moments we need it most. It teaches us to notice our Inner Critic when they speak, to pause, and offer ourselves the same warmth and kindness we’d give to a dear friend. Mindful self-compassion reconnects us with our shared humanity - the truth that life is messy, we all struggle, and we’re all deserving of love, exactly as we are. This is of the most gentle yet radically transformative practices I know.

I’m drawn to Narrative Therapy because it reminds people that they are not their problems - and that the stories we tell about ourselves can be rewritten. In this work, we gently unpick old, inherited narratives and create space for new, truer ones to emerge. It’s about finding the threads of resilience and hope already woven through one’s life, and helping them tell a story where they’re not the villain or the victim, but the author.

Carl Jung gave us this profound wisdom: “Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will rule your life and you will call it fate”. It takes great courage to shine a light on your Shadow - this is the kind of deep, brave work I hold reverence and safety for in the therapy space. We can work with dreams, symbols, journaling techniques and other approaches to unlock doors into the unconscious mind, with the aim of bringing more clarity and freedom into how you live and love.

I adore Polyvagal Theory because it makes sense of what so many people feel but can’t explain - those times when your heart races, your chest tightens, or you go numb and somehow ‘disappear’ from the moment... It’s a beautiful, body-based framework that helps us understand how our nervous system constantly scans for safety, shaping how we connect, protect, or shut down. I love using it in therapy because it reminds people that their reactions aren’t flaws, they’re ancient survival wisdom. Once we learn to work with the nervous system, not against it, we can gently reclaim a sense of ease, connection, and aliveness in our bodies and relationships.

Integrating mindfulness into counselling is a simple, yet incredibly powerful way to come home to yourself in a world that’s constantly pulling your attention away. It invites us to pause, breathe, pay attention to what’s happening right here, right now, and participate in life from a more heart-centred place. This brings you into a more intimate relationship with your challenges, your parts and what needs your attention, now.

I love Person-Centred Therapy because it’s built on the radical belief that people are inherently wise, whole, and capable of healing, when given the right conditions. As a person-centred therapist, I’ll create a safe container where you feel deeply seen, heard, and accepted - no masks, no judgement, no fixing. I see my role as walking beside you - not ahead - holding the torch, trusting that you already carry what you really need.

Attachment-based therapy really gets to the heart of how we learn to love, trust, and belong. Our earliest relationships shape the way we show up in the world - how we reach for others, how we protect ourselves, how we cope with closeness and distance. I love this work because it offers a chance to gently heal those old relational wounds, to understand the patterns that aren’t helpful to us anymore, and to build new, safer, more satisfying ways of being in connection. It’s tender, sometimes raw, but incredibly liberating.

Interpersonal Process Therapy honours the simple, powerful truth that so much of our wounding happens in relationships - and so does our healing. This integrative approach pays close attention to what happens between us in the therapy room: the subtle shifts, the unspoken feelings, the patterns that play out in real-time. It’s relational work that helps people notice how they connect, protect, and pull away, and offers a chance to try new ways of being with another human. I find it deeply human, sometimes raw, often surprising — and a beautiful reminder that relationships can be safe, nourishing places to land.
