Throughout life we can encounter emotional distress at various times. As a qualified Senior Counselling Psychologist, I can help if things are getting on top of you, if you’re feeling down, scared, worried or overwhelmed.
I have over a decade of clinical experience working with a range of difficulties including but not limited to; trauma, depression, anxiety, OCD, low self-esteem, stress, burnout, anger, grief and bereavement. I have a particular interest in trauma and have a wealth of clinical experience working with military veterans, as well as working with families affected by cancer. I work with adults aged 18 and above.
As a Counselling Psychologist I am trained in several theoretical approaches including Humanistic, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Psychodynamic, therefore I will work with you to tailor therapy to your individual needs and preferences. My favoured theoretical approaches are CBT, including acceptance and commitment therapy, compassion focused therapy and mindfulness.
I offer a safe, non-judgemental space to explore your thoughts and feelings. When working with my clients I feel it is important to work together so we can come to a shared understanding of the difficulties you are facing. Working collaboratively, I aim to empower my clients with understanding and coping strategies to live a more functional and fulfilling life.
I also offer supervision for trainee Counselling and Clinical Psychologists.
I am registered with the Health and Care Professions Council and The British Psychological Society and therefore adhere to the ethical guidelines set out by these organisations.
I am registered with AXA and Aviva health insurance providers. Soon to be registered with Bupa also.
I offer a free 15 minute initial phone consultation to discuss and answer any questions you may have about therapy. Full therapy sessions are 50 minutes and charged at £100 per session. Limited spaces for concessions may be available, please get in touch for more information.
