About me
I am a qualified Counselling Psychologist with experience in private practice, specialist charities and the NHS. I am an integrative practitioner, which means I draw on different therapeutic models to tailor the therapy to you and your goals. Therapy should be a collaborative experience where we work together to enable you to become the person you want to be.
I specialise in working with trauma, PTSD, depression, anxiety, living with ADHD, adverse life events, family issues, and relationship difficulties. Please contact me to discuss what you would like to work with as I have experience in many areas. The therapies that I work with include schema therapy, CBT, attachment, psychodynamic and person-centred therapy. I am also trained in trauma informed therapies and have worked specifically with domestic abuse, sexual abuse, childhood sexual abuse and honour based abuse.
I offer an empathic and non-judgmental space to explore and gain further understanding into the distress you're experiencing.
Testimonials from previous clients
“April was wonderful and brought empathy, kindness and calm into my life at a time when I really needed them.”
“She is very kind, a great listener and incredibly astute to the point she can see what I am thinking.”
What happens next?
If you are interested in starting therapy please email me to set up an initial free consultation call to assess your needs.
Each session lasts 50 minutes and progress is reviewed periodically to ensure the therapy is still working for you.
