About me

I'm a qualified and experienced Integrative psychotherapist in Frimley Green, Odiham & online. I work with a range of conditions, my specialist areas are anxiety, depression, attachment, trauma, addictions, anger, bereavement, personality disorders & chronic fatigue.

*Update*

I'm returning to face to face appointments in Frimley Green and Odiham. I am also continuing to provide online appointments.

I'm currently undergoing advanced training in Intensive Short-term Dynamic Psychotherapy (ISTDP), an accelerated form of dynamic psychotherapy. This active approach focuses on processing emotional blockages and changing maladaptive response patterns which are responsible for symptoms such as anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties.
As an emotion-focused, experiential therapy ISTDP aims to get to the root of your difficulties in as short a time-frame as possible to enable you to overcome symptoms and reach your full potential. If you would like to find out more about this type of therapy please contact me or visit my website.

My Approach

I am a qualified counsellor and psychotherapist. Fully insured and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).

I trained as an integrative counsellor incorporating different counselling theories into a therapeutic relational framework. I believe we are all individuals needing individual approaches. The counselling theories incorporated in my training are transpersonal, psychodynamic, humanistic and existential. Integrative counselling provides a flexible, effective and helpful way of counselling with the healing coming from our therapeutic relationship.

I have 10 years’ experience supporting people experiencing various difficulties including drug and alcohol addiction, homelessness, mental health problems, domestic abuse, long-term illness, disabilities and workplace issues.

What to expect in your first session

Our first session together will provide you with the opportunity to decide if you feel that I can help you. We can discuss what you hope to achieve from counselling and any concerns that you may have in a safe, non judgemental, comfortable space.

I also have experience working with young people 14+ in a NHS setting, college and a local charity.

I also teach counselling at a local college.

If you feel I may be able to help you, please feel free to contact me and arrange an initial appointment.
