Rafter 46 Bonds in Harmony is Accepting New Clients
There isn’t one single approach that works for everyone. I draw on a range of evidence-based therapies and adapt them to what works best for you. This often means blending approaches together and adjusting them in ways that work with you, rather than against you.
CBT & Adapted CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy)
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on how your thoughts, emotions, and actions are connected, and how patterns in one area can affect the others.
In counselling, this means slowing things down and making sense of what’s happening beneath the surface - not just what you’re doing, but why it’s happening and what’s keeping it going. When working with ADHD or AuDHD, CBT is adapted to be more flexible, practical, and easier to apply in daily life.
CBT is often used for stress and burnout, ADHD support, anxiety patterns, and trauma responses, especially when things feel repetitive or hard to change.
Executive Functioning Support
Executive functioning refers to the mental skills that help with planning, starting tasks, staying organized, and following through.
This work focuses on creating simple, realistic systems that match how your brain works, rather than trying to force routines that don’t last.
This is commonly used for ADHD and AuDHD support, burnout, overwhelm, and difficulty staying on track, especially when everyday tasks feel harder than they should.
Solution-Focused & Strengths-Based Approaches
This approach focuses on what is already working and how to build from there.
Instead of getting stuck in the problem, we look at your strengths, past experiences, and what is already helping, and use that as a starting point for change.
This is often helpful for life transitions, stress, burnout, and feeling stuck or unsure about what to do next, especially when you need a clearer, more realistic way forward.
Narrative Methods
Narrative approaches focus on the stories you carry about yourself, your experiences, and what things mean to you.
In counselling, we look at how those stories have been shaped over time and whether they no longer fit or are keeping you stuck. From there, we begin to shift how those experiences are understood, without ignoring what you’ve been through.
This is often used for grief and loss, identity changes, trauma, and life transitions, especially when you’re trying to make sense of what has happened.
Experiential Approaches
Experiential work focuses on what is happening in the moment - in your body, your emotions, and your immediate experience - not just what you think about it.
This might include noticing physical responses, emotional shifts, or reactions as they happen, and working with them directly rather than just talking them through.
This is often helpful for trauma responses, emotional overwhelm, and grief, where experiences are often felt more than they can be explained.
Motivational Interviewing
Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative approach that helps you sort through mixed feelings about change.
Rather than pushing or directing, we explore what matters to you, what feels stuck, and what direction feels right - at your pace.
This is often used when you feel stuck, unsure, unmotivated, or pulled in different directions, especially during burnout, life changes, or when you want to shift behaviour patterns.
Client-Centred, Collaborative Approach
At the core of my work is a client-centred, collaborative approach. This means the work is built around you - not a fixed method or rigid structure.
You are not expected to fit into a specific model. Instead, we work together to understand what you’re experiencing, what you need, and what pace feels right.
This supports all areas of counselling, creating a space where things can be explored without pressure while still moving toward meaningful and realistic change. You are free to start, pause, or stop counselling at any time for any reason.
