Who Individual Counselling Can Support

Sometimes life gets heavy — and carrying it alone becomes exhausting. Whether you're navigating anxiety, trauma, relationship difficulties, a major life change, or simply a quiet sense that something needs to shift, individual counselling offers you a dedicated space to slow down, be heard, and begin to find your way through.

You might be someone who is:

• Living with anxiety, persistent stress, or a sense of being constantly overwhelmed

• Processing grief or a life change that has left you feeling lost

• Carrying the weight of trauma, whether recent or from earlier in your life, that continues to shape how you feel, think, and relate to others

• Struggling with how you see yourself — your worth, your identity, or your place in relationships

• Going through a significant transition — a relationship breakdown, a career change, or a shift in who you are

• Managing patterns of coping — whether that's avoidance, substance use, anger, or simply pushing through — that no longer serve you

How We'll Work Together

My approach is integrative — meaning I draw from a range of evidence-based therapies and bring together what is most suited to you, your history, and what you need most right now. Rather than applying a single method, I work with you as a whole person.

The approaches I draw from include:

• Emotion Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT) — an evidence-based approach that goes beneath the surface to explore the deeper emotions and unmet needs driving distress. Rather than managing symptoms alone, EFT helps you understand and transform the emotional patterns at the root of anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, and low self-worth — building a more compassionate and secure relationship with yourself in the process.

• Somatic Therapy — an approach grounded in the understanding that stress and trauma do not just live in memory and thought, but are held in the body; we work gently with physical sensations alongside thoughts and emotions to support deeper healing

• Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) — a structured, evidence-based approach that explores the relationship between your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours, helping you recognise and shift patterns that are keeping you stuck
