Therapy that adapts
to who you are.

What "Integrative" Means

Integrative therapy means drawing thoughtfully from several established approaches rather than working rigidly from one. In practice, this means each session is shaped by you — what you bring, what feels useful, and what you need at any given time.

This means listening deeply and valuing your lived experience, creating a collaborative space where you can explore what feels most important to you at your own pace.

Person-Centred Therapy — The Heart of My Work

At the core of my practice is a Person-Centred Therapy ethos. This means I offer empathy, warmth, and unconditional positive regard — holding space for your story without judgment or agenda.

I believe you are the expert in your own life. Healing begins when you feel genuinely heard and your experience is honoured. In Person-Centred Therapy, the therapeutic relationship itself is the vehicle for change — and that relationship is built on trust, respect, and care.

In practical terms, this means sessions follow your lead. We explore what feels important to you, at a pace that feels safe.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy — Practical Tools for Change

Sometimes our thoughts and patterns can feel overwhelming or keep us stuck in cycles we'd rather break. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to notice unhelpful thinking patterns and experiment with new ways of responding.

CBT isn't about positive thinking — it's about developing a clearer, more accurate view of ourselves and the world. We can explore strategies that help you manage day-to-day challenges while also building confidence in your own capacity for change.

I use CBT tools gently and collaboratively, always within the broader relational context of our work together.

Attachment Theory — Understanding Relationships

Our earliest relationships shape how we see ourselves, how we relate to others, and what we expect from connection. Attachment-informed therapy helps us explore these patterns with gentleness and curiosity — making sense of old wounds and noticing how they may still affect you today.

This is particularly relevant in relationship therapy and when working with anxiety, self-worth, or recurring patterns in close relationships. By bringing awareness to these formative experiences, therapy can support you in building healthier bonds, setting clearer limits, and creating connections that feel safe and nourishing.

Trauma-Informed Practice

All my work is underpinned by trauma-informed principles — meaning I prioritise emotional safety, pacing, and your sense of control throughout. I never push you toward material you're not ready for.

Working trauma-informedly isn't only relevant for those who identify as trauma survivors. It shapes the overall quality and tone of the therapeutic relationship: one where you always feel grounded, respected, and in choice.

My practice is guided by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) Ethical Framework, ensuring confidentiality, respect, and professional integrity throughout our work together.

Professional Standards

I engage in regular clinical supervision — where aspects of my work may be discussed anonymously — to ensure I am working safely, ethically, and effectively on your behalf.
