About me
I am a Chartered counselling psychologist registered with the HCPC UK with over 10 years experience in the field of addiction, trauma, stress, anxiety, depression and relationship issues. I have a special interest in trauma and neurodiversity. My experience ranges from inpatient and outpatient NHS settings, community centres, charities and private organisations. I am also trained in ADHD assessments, please contact me for a quote.
My therapeutic approach is designed specifically to fit the unique needs of my clients so as to enhance self-discovery, independence and growth along with recovery.
My underlying approach is a blend of eastern philosophy and evidence based practice. In practice I emphasise on the recognition of the mind-body connections along with trauma informed healing. In the last few years I have enhanced my ability to work with issues such as compassion fatigue, lack of connection with the self and 'feeling stuck in therapy'. I encourage my clients to establish an understanding of the self which ensures a more sustainable recovery journey.
I offer a free telephone consultation so that my clients can decide if they perceive me as a therapist that would work with their expectations, so please contact me to arrange one. Please note I do not respond to withheld numbers.
