About me
I am a Counselling Psychologist and Existential and Psychodynamic Psychotherapist.
I work with people of all ages and have extensive experience working with children, young people, adults and older adults. I offer a warm, safe and empathic space to allow clients to explore whatever may be going on and will listen without any judgment to help empower people to work through any challenges or difficult experiences. I work as a Senior Counselling Psychologist in the NHS alongside my private practice.
I have had extensive counselling and academic training and use a pluralistic approach with my clients. I prioritise each client's unique and individual experiences and commit to work using the most appropriate and bespoke approach. My training includes person-centred, psychodynamic, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), acceptance commitment therapy (ACT), compassion-focused therapy (CFT), existential psychotherapy and creative therapeutic approaches.
As part of my clinical doctorate, I completed research into working mothers and their experience of navigating working, mothering and teaching roles during the school closures of the COVID-19 lockdowns. I continue to have a specialist interest in well-being at work. This includes the challenges of navigating the demands of working, personal and family life plus any other situation where there is a conflict or tension which can cause stress and overwhelm.
I am a member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP) and the British Psychological Society (BPS). I am registered as an Applied Psychologist with the Healthcare and Professionals Council (HCPC).
