About me:

Hello- I am a chartered Counselling Psychologist, Integrative Psychotherapist, Cognitive Behavioural & EMDR Therapist with 15 years experience of working in the NHS, alongside 9 years of running my own private practice. I aim to offer a warm, containing & confidential space, and to support you to move from a place of 'stuck-ness' to creativity in life. I am a member of the British Psychological Society (BPS), United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP), the British Association for Behavioural & Cognitive Therapy (BABCP), the EMDR Association UK, and the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC), and abide by their code of ethics to ensure safe working.

Every individual is unique and no one type of therapy fits all, which is why I take an 'integrative' approach in my work as a therapist. In practice, this means I draw on different ideas and theories which includes understanding how the past influences the present, the common experiences of anxiety related to being human, and how our beliefs and interpretations can limit the ways we view ourselves. I have a particular interest in developmental theory which looks at how early relationships with caregivers affects us in adult relationships, and am interested in how culture and context can influence beliefs about ourselves. I believe the therapeutic relationship is central to supporting change and I value being collaborative and transparent about how we are working together.

As part of my training I have engaged in personal therapy, and understand how anxiety provoking it can be to reach out for therapy and face the prospect of change. In the first session we would explore your difficulties and expectations of therapy, and whether we are a good fit to work together. If you would like to continue we can either contract for a set number of sessions, or some people prefer open ended therapy.

Some common difficulties I offer therapy for are: Relationship difficulties, Childhood abuse, Anxiety & worrying, Social anxiety, Health anxiety, Depression, Addictions, Panic attacks & phobias, Obsessive Compulsive behaviours, Low Self Esteem & confidence, Stress, Eating issues, Bereavement & loss, Trauma, Self development, Peri-natal mental health difficulties (list not exclusive).
