I am trained to use a range of therapeutic approaches in my work, including Person-Centred Therapy, Psychodynamic Psychotherapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). My doctoral level knowledge of these therapies coupled with my ongoing work with individuals and families has given me the experience and tools to integrate different theories and techniques to work in a way that best suits the varying needs of my clients.
I recognise that people come to therapy for lots of different reasons and want different things, and therefore I am flexible and collaborative in my practice. I understand that people face different issues and pressures and have different tolerances and resources, therefore I take a holistic approach in understanding the unique experiences and lives of my clients. I have experience of working with many issues, including mental health difficulties, relationship struggles, past and historic problems, social problems and other stresses.
I am a member of the Counselling Psychology Group. At the Counselling Psychology Group we offer a range of psychological therapies to individuals of all ages and for a broad spectrum of issues. At the core of our philosophy lie the respect and acceptance of the uniqueness of every individual. We work towards the development of a warm and safe space where the psychologist and the client can work collaboratively towards change and the achievement of the client’s goals and aspirations.
My philosophy
I believe that the basis of any therapeutic work is a strong and safe relationship that enables the client to be open and honest in a non-judgmental and understanding environment. Whether you have had therapy before or not, taking the first step to start therapy can feel like a daunting one. You may feel unsure of what to expect or whether it will be right for you. It is important to find a therapist and a way of working that is right for you and therefore there is no obligation to commit to therapy until you are sure that it is the right ‘fit’ for you. I believe that the process of therapy should be transparent, flexible and collaborative to allow you to get what you need from the process.
I make a commitment to keep ethical practice and your needs at the heart of my work. As such I am committed to continual professional and personal development and aim to follow the highest standards of professional conduct.
I am accredited by the British Psychological Society and HPC registered.
Training, qualifications & experience
I have a doctorate in Psychotherapeutic and Counselling Psychology. This integrative training has equipped me with the knowledge to work with human distress.
In addition to my training, I have been working with people in distress for nearly a decade. As well as working privately, I have worked with people experiencing severe and enduring mental health difficulties in the NHS for many years. I have also worked in numerous charities including working psychologically with children, families and the homeless.
Within these settings, I have worked with a range of clients from different backgrounds and with different difficulties and struggles including clients diagnosed with specific or dual mental health issues. I have worked with individuals across the lifespan and from different backgrounds and cultures.
I have and continue to work with individuals of all ages across the lifespan. I believe that my work with children and young people gives me a unique insight and understanding into how childhood experiences can shape and impact adulthood and later life, enhancing my work with adults and families.
