I am a qualified psychotherapist and counsellor who has experience of working with people with a broad range of issues including anger, trauma, depression, anxiety and difficulty with relationships. I have a diploma in Integrative Psychotherapy and will start studies towards an MSc in “Psychology & Neuroscience of Mental Health” in January. I am a registered member of the BACP.
I work with clients, both in private practice, and in the NHS. I believe that therapy is a collaborative process that can help people to understand and make sense of their own histories and the person that they are.
I provide a warm, empathic and non-judgmental environment for my clients to help explore their thoughts and feelings, make sense of conflicting emotions and behaviours, gain a deeper understanding of themselves and reach their true potential. I believe in the uniqueness of the counselling relationship and the potential to tap into an individual’s inherent strengths for making their own choices in life.
I have an integrative approach to psychotherapy, which means I have several ways of working with clients according to the client’s needs. For example using psychodynamic approach which pays attention to past experiences that may have a negative influence on present life, as well as humanistic approach which focuses on here and now.
At our first session, we will discuss the main difficulties that brought you to therapy, explore the way to work together that may best suit you, and agree the details of our contract.
I work with adults over 18.
My fees are £50 to £55 per 50-minute session. Sessions take place once a week.
