About me

Through the journey of life, there may be times when we need space to reflect and analyse our journey. Psychological therapy can provide an environment to do that in a confidential and non- judgemental way, which can sometimes be hard to do with friends and family.

The therapeutic space is where you can share and explore what is important to you and re-evaluate experiences, feelings and thoughts that making life a bit challenging. As an integrative practitioner with humanistic values, I focus on working with the client holistically and according to their needs rather than a particular overarching theory.

Being a Counselling Psychologist and Psychotherapist in training, I have worked with a range of clients within the NHS primary care, psychiatric and charity sector, and with clients with an array of presenting symptoms and experiences, such as drugs misuse, personality disorder, child abuse, depression and anxiety.

If you feel as though psychological therapy may be for you at this moment in time, please do call or email me. We can have an initial chat and arrange an assessment appointment where you can decide if therapy is right for you.
If I am unable to answer your call, leave a message and I will return your call within 24 hours.

I offer low cost therapeutic services on a short term and long term basis.
