As a dedicated psychotherapist, my goal is to create a safe, nurturing space where you feel comfortable exploring all aspects of yourself. My approach is tailored to the individual and their current struggles and concerns. Whether you are bringing daily worries and stresses or old wounds and trauma, we will endeavour to understand your inner world and deepen your self knowledge. We may explore past experiences in order to discover how they may be influencing your present challenges. Gaining insight into your patterns and how they connect to the past can open up fresh perspectives and opportunities for positive change and transition in your life.
I offer a unique blend of traditional talk therapy and creative modalities. Depending on your needs and comfort level, I may incorporate dream work, somatic emotion body tracking, creative visualization or art therapy. These innovative techniques are some of my favourite tools, as they allow us to bypass the rational mind and tap into your unconscious. I've found that these creative practices can catalyze powerful shifts that talk therapy alone might not achieve.
I'm a fully qualified Integrative Transpersonal Psychotherapist. The Integrative approach draws on a number of different established schools of talk therapy, including Gestalt, Psychodynamic, Humanistic, Jungian, Cognitive Behavioural and Existential theories. The Transpersonal aspect holds the fundamental belief in the existence and value of an individual’s innate soul nature. It encourages discovering and supporting an individual’s true sense of self, beyond ones conditioning and external personas.
I work with young and older adults with a wide range of presenting difficulties including: anxiety, depression, identity issues, grief, loss, gender issues, mood disorders, personality disorders, low self esteem, post-natal depression, trauma, parenting challenges and life transitions. I am currently gaining my accreditation for incorparting EMDR into my practice.
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.
