About me
I am a qualified Cognitive Behavioural Therapist, accredited by the BABCP, and currently finalizing my advanced clinical training as a Psychoanalytic Psychotherapist with the Association for Group and Individual Psychotherapy (AGIP), a UKCP-accredited organisation.
I have experience supporting children, adolescents, and adults with a wide range of presentations. This includes trauma, neurodiversity's such as ADHD, autism, and sensory processing differences, as well as various psychological difficulties across NHS and IAPT services. I have worked with a range of ages and diverse backgrounds with my work focus often being related to trauma and self-identity.
My Approach
My approach is pluralistic, relational, and person-centred. I adapt my therapeutic style to suit each individual client, with the aim of providing high-quality therapy that reflects your unique needs. I offer a safe, confidential, and non-judgmental space where we can build a collaborative and trusting therapeutic relationship.
Together, we will explore your personal experiences and work through the challenges you are facing. To seek a deeper understanding of self, foster resilience, and support meaningful, lasting change.
