About me
Just the fast pace of life can be enough sometimes to cause even the most competent person to struggle or feel like they are unable to cope.
As a Chartered and HCPC-registered Counselling Psychologist I can tailor different therapies to suit your individual needs or work predominantly in one domain, for example, CBT. I offer a safe space to explore and work through problems towards resolve. I teach additional coping strategies, new perspective, self-awareness, to enable you to work towards reaching your full potential.
I have seen many people get well and experience renewed energy, direction and purpose in life. My expertise includes CBT, psychodynamic, person centred, Eye Movement Desensitisaion Reprocessing (EMDR).
