Counselling is not about following a fixed formula. My approach is collaborative, person-centred and shaped around you, giving you the space to explore what matters to you at a pace that feels right.
My Approach
Therapy that fits you
At The Listening Lounge in Derby, I ensure your therapy fits your life. You have the flexibility to choose the setting that best supports your comfort and schedule:
- Face-to-Face Sessions (Derby): Benefit from the warmth and dedicated connection of meeting in a private, professional therapy room right here in Derby. This format allows for direct interaction and a tangible sense of shared space.
- Online/Virtual Sessions: Experience convenience and ease through secure video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging. Ideal for those with busy lifestyles or limited travel, online therapy ensures consistent support no matter where you are.
Regardless of the format you choose, every session is held in a safe, confidential, and supportive environment where true collaboration and healing can occur.
Person-centred approach
A safe space
I offer a safe space without judgement and strive to understand your perspective completely. You are the expert on your life and I am authentic and genuine in every interaction.
Personal growth
My work with adults is firmly rooted in the person-centred approach, a philosophy that places you, the client, as the expert on your own life.
Collaborative therapy
My role is simple yet essential: to create a therapy space that is completely safe, genuine and non-judgemental. I strive for congruence, bringing my authentic self to build a connection with you.
Self-awareness
I view you as the expert on your own life. Through attentive, active listening, I work collaboratively to truly understand your world from your perspective and empower you to develop powerful self-awareness.
