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.
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.
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.
