Life can be challenging at times and we can all need support for many reasons. You may be feeling anxious, distressed, or low. You may be feeling stuck or have a sense that things could be better. You may be facing something which stretches your ability to cope, either now or from the past. Therapy can offer a space to be heard and to make sense of your experience.
I offer a confidential and non-judgmental space, listening with care and thoughtfulness, attuning to all of your experience and responding to you in dialogue and collaboratively. I am open and sensitive to your individual lived experience and cultural and social background. I see myself as a companion, guided by your pace and your direction, enabling you to explore what feels most important for you.
My work is guided by humanistic psychology and person-centred philosophy, which emphasises human potential and growth. I have worked with clients of varying ages and cultural and social backgrounds, with a range of concerns, including but not limited to depression, anxiety, identity, change and transitions, bereavement, loss, work stress, health concerns, trauma, and relationship issues.
I offer longer-term and short-term psychotherapy.
My fee is £75 per session.
I am a qualified and accredited person-centred psychotherapist with an MSc in Psychotherapy and a Master’s degree in Psychology. I offer a warm and empathic approach, working in collaboration with my clients to explore their concerns and find a way forward that supports their growth and feels true for them. I have a cross-cultural background, and experienced living in different countries. I am fluent in English and Dutch.
My psychotherapy training was at the Metanoia Institute in London. I hold an MSc and Clinical Diploma in Contemporary Person-Centred Psychotherapy (Metanoia/Middlesex) and also hold a Diploma in Person-Centred Psychotherapeutic Counselling from the Metanoia Institute. Previously I completed a BA and Master’s degree in Psychology, and I also hold a PhD in Management. I am registered with the United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) and am a Senior Accredited member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).
I continually seek to reflect on my work and engage in professional development to inform my practice. I have trained in other valuable therapeutic approaches such as EMDR (Eye Movement and Desensitisation Therapy), Somatic Trauma Therapy and Emotion-Focused Therapy to deepen my knowledge and to enhance my offering of therapy which is tailored to the individual needs of each client.
