About me and my therapy practice
I am a psychodynamically trained counsellor, with 15 years of experience in the NHS, Higher Education Sector and at Living Well, a charity who supports LGBTQ+ clients living & impacted by HIV. I am very experienced in working with neurodivergent individuals who live with ADHD/ADD and who may be autistic
I am also qualified as a Person Centred Experiential Counselling for Depression Practitioner; have an Advanced Diploma in Couples Counselling & Psychosexual Therapy from the Naos Institute; and a British Psychological Society Approved Certificate in Trauma treatments. I am a fully qualified Clinical Supervisor.
Practice description
Being trained psychodynamically, enables me to look at patterns & ways of coping that you may have used in the past but that are repeating, unconsciously and often unhelpfully, in the present.
Often these come to light when a crisis, such as bereavement; the end of a relationship; redundancy or illness, occurs. Perhaps an overwhelm of anxiety, depression & panic attacks have led you to this page now...
By using an integrative approach I am also able to employ techniques, including CBT and mindfulness skills, to better help you challenge and manage the emotional stress of everyday life, however this is arising for you.
By offering an authentic, non-judgemental & confidential space I can help you to explore the difficult feelings & emotions which you are experiencing, to enable you to understand and process what is occurring now in order to navigate a way differently into the future.
My first session
Deciding to come into counselling can often feel daunting - I have also been in your shoes! Therefore I am always happy to meet you for an initial free chat, by telephone or online, so that you can get to know me and the way I work before you commit to anything.
In our first session we can explore what style of therapy best suits your needs and agree on an approach which enables you to feel most valued, seen and heard. Equally importantly is me learning what you want to gain from being in a counselling relationship and how I can help you to achieve those goals.
As an Accredited Member of the 麻豆原创, I adhere strictly to their Ethical Framework which supports the importance of safety, confidentiality, respect, and equality.
