My Approach

Person-Centred & Experiential Psychotherapy (MSc)

About Me

All sorts of people seek therapy at different times in their life.
Whether you know what you want to work on or are unsure, I am here to support you figure out things that are unique to you and your life situation.
In particular I have worked for a number of years with people who have experienced complexed trauma. Whether current or historic, this can lead to a sense of not feeling ourselves and impact our relationships.
But whatever finds you here today, whether it be a sense of low self-esteem or depression, stress or anxiety, or issues in relationships or at work, therapy can be a valuable space.
Space to support you to figure out who you are and what you’ve been through. This can allow for a more authentic connection with yourself and enhance relationships important to you.

How I work:
As a qualified Person-Centred & Experiential Psychotherapist to MSc (distinction) level, the core of my practice is a unique relationship with you. One that is professional and confidential, based on a genuine, non-judgemental, and compassionate approach.
Between us we will work towards your therapeutic goals at a pace that feels OK to you. My work will be tailored to your needs. This allows for safe exploration to process your experiences, leading to personal healing and growth.

Where I work:
I work in-person from two locations - NG1 Nottingham city centre or NG5 just outside, close to Sherwood, Mapperley and Arnold. Both are dedicated, welcoming, professional and confidential spaces with plenty of parking and frequent links to public transport.
I also work remotely offering online or telephone sessions for which I have had specialist training for.
I am happy to consider a blend of types of session depending on your unique situation and circumstances.

Next steps:
If you are thinking about entering into therapy with me, I would be delighted to offer you a free and confidential, no obligation 30-minute consultation. My intention in offering this, is for you to ask any questions you might have and decide whether I am the right therapist for you.
Please get in touch - I am waiting to hear from you and support you in taking your next steps forward.

In summary, I could be the therapist for you if you:
• are ready for change
• are willing to explore the challenges you face
• would value a non-judgemental and compassionate space

A little bit more about me:
What led me to become a psychotherapist included understanding my own unique experiences. Losing my mum as a child saw me squash down my feelings to be 'coping well'.
Understanding that we each have unique needs and experiences, that will be different to those we grew up with or are closest to. That came from life experiences that included several years volunteering at the national charity Childline.
I enjoy trying new things, whether it be creative or in contact with nature. As well as noticing my viewing or reading is related to a diversity of personal, environmental, or political material.
