About me
I am an experienced mental health Practitioner and a Counselling Psychologist, chartered through the BPS. I am also registered with the Health and Care Professions Council HCPC. I completed my practitioner psychologist training, attaining a Doctor of Counselling Psychology degree at York St John University, England. I have gained extensive experience within the National Health Service NHS and private mental health sectors, specialist interest in trauma, depression, anxiety, self-harm, self-esteem, and supporting individuals from diverse backgrounds. My dedication to the field has led to significant contributions in both clinical practice and research, including presenting at The Chicago School of Professional Psychology's forensic conference in 2021.
Currently, I also work as a Step 4 psychologist practitioner, where I provide comprehensive psychological assessments, create tailored treatment plans, and deliver interventions for clients with complex mental health challenges. My therapeutic approach integrates various modalities such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy CBT, Narrative Exposure Therapy NET, Cognitive Analytical Therapy CAT, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ACT. I often combine these methods in a personalised and formulated manner.
My practice is rooted in humanistic psychology, emphasising empathic and genuine therapeutic encounters. I believe in creating a safe space for clients to explore their experiences and trust that each individual holds the innate capacity for healing. Whether through short-term focused sessions or long-term therapy, I am committed to promoting mental well-being and providing care that meets each clients unique needs.
Training, qualifications & experience
