About me
I offer counselling & psychotherapy in Willerby, East Yorkshire for individuals, couples and small groups. I help people to work through difficulties they are facing in life and to improve their mental health & emotional wellbeing.
I understand from my own personal journey of psychotherapy how difficult it can be to allow yourself to be vulnerable and ask for help. It takes courage and strength to access therapy and reaching out is often the hardest step.
Training, qualifications & experience
Prior to being a therapist, I worked in mental health services for almost 20 years in supporting and managerial roles. Throughout this time, I developed significant experience and a genuine passion in helping people with mental health difficulties. In particular, with adults and young people struggling with eating distress, eating disorders and obsessive-compulsive behaviours.
I'm also a certified Imago Relationship Therapist working with romantic relationships and other duo relationships.
I have a BSc (Hons) in Psychology, a Level 7 Diploma in Integrative & Transactional Analysis Psychotherapy and certification in Imago Relationship Therapy.
