About me

Are you an expat seeking support with someone who speaks English? In the UK I trained in Integrative Psychotherapy and Counselling. I draw from 3 therapeutic models to tailor treatment to your unique needs. With years of global living experience, I understand the challenges of being far from home.

I believe that every individual is unique, which I embrace in my practice. My mission is to create a safe and judgment-free environment where you can openly share your thoughts and emotions. I meet you where you are on your journey, fostering self-awareness and autonomy so you can make positive choices for your personal growth and development.

My counselling approach draws from three therapeutic models. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to challenge unhelpful thought patterns, a Person-Centered Approach to create a nurturing, non-judgmental space for self-discovery, and Attachment Theory to explore the influence of early experiences on your behaviour.

Together, we'll challenge unhelpful patterns, foster self-awareness, and delve into the impact of relationships on your growth. Whether online or by telephone, my flexible coaching style allows you to connect from the comfort of your home or preferred space. Let's embark on your journey to personal growth and well-being.

Approach

Treatment Approaches
CBT: Cognitive behavioural therapyRecommended for those looking for practical support and accountability to change unhelpful thinking and behaviors.
Integrative therapy Recommended for those who prefer a flexible approach that combines different therapies to meet their unique needs.
MindfulnessMindfulness is the process of maintaining a purposeful moment-by-moment awareness of our thoughts, feelings, and surrounding environment.
Trauma informed careRecommended for those who have experienced trauma and need a safe, supportive space to heal at their own pace.

Together we will aim to help you identify and challenge unhelpful patterns of thinking and behaviours to improve your emotional wellbeing and current circumstances by creating a supportive, non-judgemental space for you to be you, so that you can grow in self awareness and move towards realising your full potential. Alongside this, through our sessions we will explore your history and the role of early experiences on your current circumstances, looking at unconscious motivations, and the influence of relationships in shaping your behaviour and development.

As an integrative psychotherapist and counsellor, I seamlessly combine elements and techniques from different therapeutic modalities to provide a comprehensive and personalised treatment for my clients. My aim is to be fully present with you in your process; I am not here to fix, judge, or diagnose, but to walk alongside you, offering a compassionate, safe space where you can be heard, seen, and supported.
