about you counselling logo
About You Counselling provides specialist trauma-informed support for individuals healing from childhood pain, as well as those who feel stuck in patterns of behaviour that hurt the people they love.  
​Whether you're healing from harmful experiences or working to shift patterns that had impacted your relationships, this is a supportive space to reflect, understand, and grow.

Healing begins with being heard - without judgment, without fear. 

​​My own experience with trauma once left me feeling disconnected and unfulfilled from myself, relationships and life. Curious to understand how trauma shapes our inner world and connections with others, I embarked on a personal journey of self-discovery that ultimately led me to study Social Work and retrain as a counsellor.

​

Since then, I have specialised in behaviour change counselling, supporting both individuals who have experienced harm and individuals seeking to change harmful behaviours, through 1:1 sessions and group work.

 

I’m deeply passionate about helping people rediscover their true selves, rebuild what’s been lost, and create lives that align with their values.

Working towards healing

Find Clarity, Healing, and Strength Within.

I offer compassionate 1:1 counselling for individuals who had experienced abuse as a child or in an intimate relationship. Abuse as well as domestic and family violence can affect anyone, regardless of culture, gender, or financial background. Together, we’ll navigate the complex emotions, life challenges, and uncertainty that often follow abuse. In a safe and supportive space, I’ll help you explore your experiences, identify behavioural patterns, and gently uncover deeper wounds which could also be those rooted in early life. This is a space where your story is heard, your pain is honoured, and healing happens at your own pace

 Supervision and Coaching

I offer supervision to Social Workers and Counsellors by using strength based and solution focused approaches. Please reach out to talk about your needs and to see if we'll be a good fit. 

Behaviour change one on one

Working towards changing unwanted behaviour

Heal Trauma, Shift Negative Patterns. Have Respectful and Safer Relationships

Have you ever acted in ways that left you feeling ashamed or guilty, especially toward those you love most? You're not alone. I work with individuals who want to better understand and shift patterns of behaviour that may be affecting their relationships, wellbeing, or sense of self. In a safe and non-judgmental space, we explore the emotions, beliefs, and past experiences, often shaped by trauma, that influence your actions today. This is a respectful and empowering space to support your self-awareness, accountability, and personal growth, at a pace that feels right for you.

Behaviour change group

Working towards behaviour change in a group setting.

Heal Trauma. Shift Negative Patterns. Grow Together.

Unresolved trauma can shape how we think, feel, and behave, and if left unaddressed, it can harm our relationships with others and ourselves. In group therapy, you’ll find a safe and supportive space to explore these patterns, connect with others who understand, and begin the journey toward lasting change and skills to provide safety for those around you. Through shared insight, respectful connection, and guided healing, meaningful transformation becomes possible.

My Approach
My Approach

My counselling approach is grounded in creating a safe, non-judgmental, and supportive space where you can explore your thoughts, experiences, and beliefs. Healing can be confronting, but I believe in the power of vulnerability, self-awareness, and the willingness to grow. I offer trauma informed, person centered counselling and will walk beside you with compassion and patience as you navigate your inner world.  

 

Whether you're seeking support to change problematic behaviour, healing from trauma, struggling with stress or anxiety, or life in general, I am here to help. Feel free to explore the resources on my website or schedule a free 15-minute session to see if we're a good fit. ​

 

My style is relational and collaborative, and I use a range of therapeutic modalities, including:​

 

- Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT)​​

- Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

- Narrative Therapy

- Mindfulness-based Therapies

- Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS)​
