About me

I’m Courtney, an integrative Psychotherapist with almost 15 years’ experience in mental health, I have delivered thousands of hours of therapy supporting adults struggling with anxiety, trauma, attachment wounds, relationship difficulties and low self-worth.

I work with people who are feeling overwhelmed by modern day life, often turning to self sabotaging behaviours as a way of coping. You may look like you're coping on the outside while privately feeling emotionally exhausted, anxious or disconnected from yourself. Life can be challenging, things do not always work out the way we may have planned with everyday issues and stresses easily becoming unmanageable. We all need support at some point in our lives to overcome problems, counselling can provide you with clarity and guidance as together we can explore whatever may be troubling you.

My therapy career was sparked from the loss of someone close to me which has allowed me to walk alongside others navigating grief. 

Although I am from a person centred background I would describe my work as following an integrative approach recognising the paradox of clients wanting some form of guidance and direction. This style allows me to adapt in accordance with your needs. There is no one size fits all to therapy, I see each person as unique and aim to be fluid and responsive to that by combing techniques to benefit you. Sometimes that looks like practical tools and psycho education, and other times it may include deeper  more reflective work. I am a spiritual person and this is also reflective in my practice. 

I have a particular interest in inner child healing and attachment theory. Inner child work can be deeply restorative, helping us to meet wounded parts of ourselves with compassion, releasing feelings of shame and guilt, and rediscovering joy. Exploring your attachment styles can bring insight into how you relate to others and offers new ways of feeling more secure in relationships and within ourselves.

Together we explore not only the conflicts happening on the surface, but also the deeper emotional needs, attachment patterns and vulnerabilities that may be sitting underneath them.

The next step

I know that reaching out for support can feel vulnerable, I’ve been there myself. I welcome you to get in touch fore a free 15  minute phone or video chat where I can answer any questions you have. There is no obligation to commit, its an opportunity to establish if I am the right fit for you. I view the relationship between client and therapist as the most important factor for healing to unfold. If i feel you may be better suited to another therapist within my network I will guide you in that direction. I place great important in ensuring that you are made to feel safe and comfortable in my presence. Therapy with me is a space to feel truly seen and understood.

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.

If a Counsellor's premises aren't step-free, they may offer alternative services such as telephone/web-based appointments, home visits, or meeting clients in different location, so you can choose the option that suits you best.

You can contact the Counsellor to discuss the options available.
