My Approach

In view of my life and work experiences, my approach can, at times, be existential in nature although I recognise the need to manage current life challenges and experiences. It is because of this, I use an integrative approach to psychotherapy however my clinical approach is adapted to individual client need as we are all unique in our experiences and perceptions. Predominantly, I work with attachment, what relationships mean and the value of these as well as traumatic experiences.

About Me

I have a wealth of life experience and clinical experience working with the most vulnerable of individuals within society including victims of crime, young people and older adults. I am a University Lecturer and a Course Leader in a rural University whilst simultaneosly working within the NHS and private practice. Additionally, I have previously worked within the Criminal Justice System and have extensive experience working with victims of crime as well as offenders. Additionally, I have experience working with end-of-life patients and I have insight into death anxiety as well as one's own mortality.

  • Individuals
  • Private healthcare referrals

Special Interests

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.

Abuse is treatment we receive or tolerate which has a detrimental impact on our wellbeing and health and can occur from those we least expect or from those we expected to care for us.
An addiction is a behavioural tendency which feels like a compulsion to behave in a specific way often with the use of a substance or chemical such as nicotine, alcohol, cocaine, cannabis or any recreational substance which starts to impinge on our day-to-day life. This can start to impact our health and wellbeing.
Anger is a raw emotion which is often misunderstood but is an essential emotion to recognise and understand. Often we can suppress it as it feels overwhelming and uncomfortable but if we understand it we can manage it more effectively and it can prmote good mental health.
Post traumatic stress can be a debilitating and chronic state to experience. It develops when there has been little support and a series of challenging life events which can be difficult to overcome. It can be experienced by everyone and anyone and with the right support and therapeutic intervention, it can be the opportunity for growth, and insight into yourself.
I have extensive experience working with patients and clients who have experienced multiple traumatic life experiences which may result in feelings of confusion, being "stuck", or experiencing relational difficulties. A trauma is when an experience impacts us unexpectedly, leaving us in shock, confusion and feeling unable to move forwards for a significant amount of time and leaving patterns of behaviour which impact quality of life.
