Holistic counselling creates space for a deeper understanding of the intricate mind-body connection and how our environment shapes our mental well-being. The medical model is beginning to recognise that our emotional distress - or what I call "psyche-ache" - stems from an interconnected constellation of physical, mental, social, and environmental factors.

At elemental, the heart of my work is the therapeutic relationship. Sessions provide a confidential, attentive space where genuine connection occurs - where your mind meets mine, creating room for fresh perspectives and new ways of being. This relationship becomes the secure base from which exploration and growth can unfold.

• Sessions progress at your own pace, without pressure or predetermined agendas

• Your questions, insights, and discoveries guide our work together

• The full spectrum of your experience receives proper attention and care

• Your unique narrative and perspective remain central to the therapeutic process

Positive change remains possible at any stage of life, offering hope regardless of past experiences or current challenges. Current neuroscience confirms that our brains maintain neuroplasticity throughout life, continuously forming new neural pathways.

Holistic counselling can span a few sessions, or extend for a longer period, or merge into psychotherapy.
