I am a relational integrative practitioner working with a variety of different models to tailor the work to your specific needs. I am particularly interested in how relationships influence and transform our lives. It is my understanding that early relationships influence our experience of ourselves and the world around us. In turn the therapeutic relationship offers an opportunity to make sense of these dynamics and facilitate change.
I have almost 8 years of experience working in mental health settings, including in private and charity services. My experience includes working with with adults, young people, and teenagers who have experienced a variety mental distress presentations including depression, anxiety, eating disorders, self harm, domestic abuse, sexual trauma, relationship difficulties, identity struggles, and stress. I am trained in psychodynamic, humanistic, and CBT modalities.
Taking a first step to starting therapy can be daunting. I appreciate that it can be difficult to talk about painful issues and experiences affecting you. I aim to provide a safe and containing therapeutic space where you can begin to explore and make sense of the things that may have been troubling you.
I recently finished all taught and professional components of my Doctorate in Counselling Psychology and Psychotherapy, with just my thesis and viva outstanding.
As a member of BPS and UKCP, I work within their ethical framework. I am also professionally supervised by a UKCP registered supervisor.
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.
