About me
Life can often become overwhelming when circumstances don't unfold as expected, leaving you with feelings of isolation. In our sessions, my primary goal is to provide you with a secure and confidential space where you can freely express your thoughts and emotions. Together, we will collaboratively work towards helping you take the necessary steps to move forward in your life.
I believe in keeping therapy straightforward and effective, focusing on well-defined objectives and conducting regular assessments to ensure progress. I specialise in addressing a range of themes, including anxiety disorders, confidence building, obsessive-compulsive disorders, trauma, burnout, and grief.
My practice caters to both adults and adolescents, ensuring that individuals of various age groups have access to the support they need. Please know that you're not alone in your journey, and I'm here to assist you in finding solutions and working through these challenges.
Training, qualifications & experience
I have a Masters Degree in Psychotherapy, and an Advanced Certificate in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and 2 decades of experience.
The majority of my learning is drawn from my 15 years as the lead therapist at an independent specialist school and my work in private practice. Both settings have given me an extensive range of therapeutic skills that have enhanced my practice. I have successfully supported individuals who are experiencing temporary difficulties, such as anxiety, depression, bereavement, parental separation, low self esteem, sadness, bullying and perfectionism. As part of my professional development, I strive to remain informed of the latest neurological research, adolescent mental health and effective interventions.
I am registered with, and adhere to the standards and ethicacy of the Health and Care Professionals Council
Enhanced DBS Dated 06/02/2023 Cert Number: 001715667561
I am also a qualified Clinical Supervisor, supporting therapy teams and individuals in mainstream and specialist provision.
