My Approach

You may be undergoing distressing thoughts, reduced self-esteem, confidence issues, stress, anxiety, low mood, or feeling overwhelmed. Relationships and life may have recently changed or been impacted, or you may desire a protected space within your week for yourself. Psychotherapy can support the exploration of difficulties, thoughts, and feelings to promote access to self-awareness and emotional healing.
I believe that change can be facilitated in an environment that feels safe, non-judgemental, and confidential. I work with a wide range of client groups and mental health issues differing in gender, age, sexual orientation, race, and culture.
I hold full professional indemnity insurance and enhanced DBS clearance. I adhere to the UKCP ethical framework and principles. I attend monthly clinical supervision which ensures the efficacy and safety of my practice.
