Thrive
With
Therapy
Welcome to a space dedicated to your emotional well-being.
As an Integrative Counsellor and Psychotherapist, I’m here to support you in navigating life’s challenges. My approach is rooted in Human Givens Therapy, a model that focuses on meeting your core emotional needs. Through a blend of proven techniques and personalised care, we’ll work together to unlock your inner resources, set achievable goals, and foster lasting change.
When you need me but do not want me,
then I must stay.
When you want me but no longer need me,
then I have to go.
Nanny McPhee
As an Integrative Counsellor and Psychotherapist, I practice a core therapy model called Human Givens Therapy. This approach focuses on addressing your emotional needs, which have been identified as:
- Security
- Attention (giving and receiving)
- Control
- Community
- Intimacy (having someone who accepts you as you are)
- Competency and Self-Esteem
- Achievement
- Meaning and Purpose
- Privacy
- Status
When these needs are balanced, emotional health can flourish. You are the expert on yourself, and within you are the innate resources needed to meet these needs. My role is to guide you in utilising these strengths, illuminating areas that may need attention. Together, we set small, achievable goals and track progress along the way.

Human Givens Therapy is highly effective for a wide range of emotional challenges. You’ll find elements of CBT, Neuro-Linguistic Programming, hypnotherapy, and more within this approach. I also employ impactful techniques like The Rewind Technique to address high anxiety, phobias, and trauma. Whether you’re seeking to boost confidence, excel in public speaking, succeed in job interviews, or break free from cycles of depression, this therapy can help.
We can start with a FREE 20-minute phone consultation to determine if I am the right therapist for you. You may only need four to six sessions, though more complex challenges may require longer-term work, always guided by your needs.

As my client, you steer the direction of your therapy. I adapt various techniques and models to best support your journey. Currently, I am also studying Internal Family Systems (IFS), a method that can further enhance your healing process. Discover more about IFS here.
In addition, I draw from the teachings of Dr. Gabor Maté, an expert in trauma, addiction, and the impact of negative childhood experiences. Explore his work through the following links:
