About me
I'm an HCPC registered Counselling Psychologist with over two decades of experience supporting clients through life's most complex challenges. My aim is to offer a space where you feel genuinely seen, deeply understood and empowered to grow, at your own pace.
Training and Qualifications;
I began my journey in the helping profession as an Addictions Therapist, earning a diploma and a BA in counselling and psychotherapy, before completing a postgraduate diploma in Psychology and a Doctorate in Counselling Psychology.
My experience spans work in the NHS, the private sector, as well as a private practice across the UK, Australia and France.
How I work;
My approach is integrative and relational, rooted in person centred values, while drawing on CBT (cognitive behavioural therapy), DBT (dialectical behavioural therapy) informed practices, ACT (acceptance and commitment therapy) and CFT (compassion focused therapy) when clinically appropriate. I work holistically through a biopsychosocial lens always taking into account the wider context of your life, culture and lived experience. The therapeutic relationship is at the heart of my work; a safe collaborative space where we can explore together what's difficult , rediscover what's possible and move towards the life you want to live.
