Doing Couple Counselling - The KvLS Method
What do you hope clients take away from their sessions with you?
I hope that you leave our sessions feeling truly heard and understood, knowing you have a safe supportive space where you can talk openly about anything without fear of judgement. I also want you to feel empowered, recognising that this is a collaborative process where your voice matters. Enabling you to confidently express your needs and take an active role in your own therapeutic journey.
How much room do you allow for humour and lightness in sessions ?
I welcome humour and lightness into our sessions, I understand that humour can be a notable coping mechanism, but it can also help build connections that strengthen the therapeutic relationship. Allowing me to see you more fully as yourself. Lightness has an important place too; there's no expectation for every session to feel heavy or intense. Sometimes it’s just as valuable to explore uplifting parts of life, and I encourage space for that as well.
What would you want clients to know about their growth process?
I would want you to know that growth is rarely linear and that’s okay. There may be moments that feel like small steps forward and others that feel like a step back, but all of it is part of the process. Even the times that feel uncertain or like you are standing still are often where meaningful growth is quietly happening.
As we work together, you may begin to develop a deeper awareness of yourself and sometimes that awareness may not always feel like progress in the moment, but it is an important and valuable part of growth.
Most importantly, I want you to know that you don’t have to navigate this journey alone. I am here alongside you, offering a supportive space where there are no expectations to move at any particular pace.
What motivated you to be a therapist ?
My motivation to become a therapist comes from my own experience with therapy as a teenager. It had a profound impact on my life, helping me develop the tools I needed to grow, understand myself, and cope with the challenges I was facing. That experience shaped me in such a meaningful way and showed me the value of having a space where you feel understood and accepted.
From this, I felt a strong desire to give back, to offer others the same sense of safety and acceptance that I was fortunate enough to receive. Being able to support you on your journey, and to help you find your own strength and understanding is what continues to inspire me in my practice.
How would you describe your approach to therapy?
At the heart of my practice is a commitment to the core conditions of person-centred therapy to offer empathy in a non-judgemental space. I aim to create an environment where you feel safe and supported enough to open up at your own pace and explore what feels most important to them.
Our work together is collaborative and fluid, guided by your needs and experiences. Rather than following a rigid structure, I adapt the approach to ensure that each session feels relevant to support you in getting what you truly need from your therapeutic journey.
