About me
Individual therapy provides a safe, confidential, and supportive environment where you can explore emotional difficulties, many of which may be rooted in early life experiences that are not always in conscious awareness. The therapeutic relationship offers an opportunity to gain deeper self-understanding, develop healthier coping strategies, and bring about meaningful changes in how you think, feel and behave.
The trust developed between us allows for the re-experiencing and examination of early relational patterns, helping you establish new, more fulfilling ways of relating to others, no longer shaped by past habits that may have caused distress.
Therapy may be short term (typically weekly for up to six months) or longer term depending on your needs. Short term work is often focused on specific issues, while longer term therapy is more suitable for deeper, longstanding issues. Sessions are usually once a week at a regular time and day.
I am an integrative therapist drawing on techniques from different types of therapy to tailor an approach specifically for you. I care deeply about the relationship we establish together, believing the therapeutic relationship is essential to the success of your experience.
Therapy can help with a range of issues, including:
- Relationship difficulties - forming or maintaining healthy relationship, recurring conflicts, or patterns of destructive relationships
- Work related stress - burnout, communication issues, lack of direction, or low confidence

UKCP standards cover the range of different psychotherapies. Registration is obtained by training or accrediting with one of its member organisations, or by holding a European Certificate in Psychotherapy. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
