About me
I am an HCPC-registered Counselling Psychologist. My primary focus is on the client and their story. You are the expert in your own experience, and I bring psychological expertise so that we can solve the emotional puzzle together. I strive to create a safe, non-judgemental and trusting therapeutic space, and aim to foster an environment where you feel comfortable and supported to process your experience. With this in place, I support people in implementing interventions and coping strategies that relieve distress and achieve meaningful change. I aim to ensure that we maintain a transparent and solid therapeutic relationship.
I offer an integrative approach, where I draw on evidence-based therapy models such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and others as necessary. I am also trained in Eye Movement and Desensitisation (EMDR) therapy.
Therapy is a journey, and I can relate to how unnerving it can be to start this process. I work at my client's pace and typically see clients dealing with a variety of issues, including but not limited to:
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Anger
- Low self-esteem
- PTSD/C-PTSD
- Life transitions
- Loss of identity
- Bereavement
- Relational difficulties

I have been working with a large variety of mental health presentations in adults, young people, and children since 2017. My specialism is working with symptoms and presentations stemming from trauma.
