My approach is integrative, with person-centred therapy at its foundation and elements of attachment, existential and cognitive behavioural approaches incorporated according to each client's needs. I work collaboratively rather than using a one-size-fits-all model.
Together we may explore current difficulties, earlier experiences, relationship and attachment patterns, thoughts and behaviours, and the ways you have learned to cope. Alongside deeper exploration, I also value practical therapeutic tools that can help you make changes outside of the therapy room.
My work is trauma-informed and paced carefully, particularly when working with difficult or painful experiences. Where relevant to the client, I can also work sensitively with culture, faith, identity and family dynamics as part of the therapeutic process.
I am a UKCP-accredited Integrative Psychotherapist and BACP-registered Psychotherapeutic Counsellor working with adults, children and young people, and couples. I support clients experiencing anxiety, trauma, low mood, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, stress, bereavement and significant life changes.
I offer a warm, non-judgemental and trauma-informed space where you can explore what is happening for you, understand patterns that may be keeping you stuck, and work towards meaningful and practical change. I welcome clients from a wide range of cultural, religious and family backgrounds and can sensitively incorporate these parts of your identity where they are important to you.
Like all UKCP registered psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors I can work with a wide range of issues, but here are some areas in which I have a special interest or additional experience.
