Hello and welcome
Let's start with a brief introduction. I am an accredited psychotherapist MBACP (Accred.)
My counselling approach is relational and I like to work creatively. I see therapy as a non-judgemental space for you to make sense of your internal world and experiences. Whether you have had counselling before or you're new to it, I understand that it may seem daunting. I am here to support you as we navigate this together.
Therapy might bring up difficult content at times. I fundamentally believe that in a world which can be overwhelming and challenging, giving yourself space to make sense of this is one of the greatest things you can do for yourself.
You can read a little bit more about my training, experience and what to expect from working with me below.
About me
My approach and professional experience
I have experience in counselling adults in short and long term psychotherapy, as well as work with adolescents and children. I have worked with a wide range of presenting issues including (but not limited to): loss, bereavement, anxiety, depression, stress, self harm, changing life stages, low self esteem, identity issues, relational difficulties, spirituality.
I work with people from many different cultural, ethnic and racial backgrounds. I am committed to working in an anti-oppressive way, and recognise the ways in which societal discrimination and injustices affect some communities in particular and can have a significant impact on people's wellbeing and mental health.
Before becoming a psychotherapist I worked for an international development charity, with particular focus on women who have experienced gender-based violence. I have also worked with children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities both in the UK and abroad.
