About me
I offer a confidential, non-judgmental space for counselling and psychotherapy, where you can both find your voice and be heard. Sometimes simply being heard can be sufficient to alleviate pain and difficult feelings. In other instances having an external person to reflect and examine your emotions with can help bring clarity, understanding and acceptance.
I have over 17 years experience delivering counselling and psychotherapy to clients from diverse social and cultural backgrounds, with wide-ranging motivations for commencing therapy. I trained in the Psychodynamic model of psychotherapy at one of the U.K.’s leading psychotherapy training institutes WPF Therapy and am an accredited member of the UKCP and a member of FPC. I am bound by their codes of professional conduct and ethical principles.
Additionally, I have over a decade of experience working with adults in higher education presenting with disabilities, chronic health conditions, mental health problems and neurodiversity, including: Dyslexia, Dyspraxia, Dyscalculia, ADD, ADHD, Asperger syndrome/Autism, helping build confidence and access means of support within educational and work settings.
I have experience delivering group therapy sessions and workshops. Both in corporate and higher education spaces.
EMDR therapy is also offered. This type of therapy can be extremely helpful in relation to phobias and single event truamas, such as traffic accidents. It is also the gold standard technique for treating PTSD. EMDR can facilitate a rapid reduction in symptoms and has the ability to remove the emotional charge related to trauma.
Committed to continuous professional and personal development (CPD). I also have experience of coaching and EFT.
I am open to new advances in wellness and alternative approaches. I feel that clients benefit from taking a holistic approach to mental and physical well-being, believing that the scope of personal growth is infinite. My view is that although our strongest resource is ourselves, support from others can help us access our full potential and through this ultimately become more independent.
I also believe that movement and non-verbal communication, such as art can have a profound positive impact on our psyches and ability to process emotions and trauma. Hence, I collaborates with dancers, artists, actors and martial artists to deliver therapeutic workshops throughout the year.
How counselling or therapy can help you?
The psychodynamic technique aims to bring the unconscious mind into consciousness, through exploring one’s past and present experiences, perceptions and feelings. The relationship between the therapist and client can be utilised as a helpful tool to identify entrenched thoughts, feelings, behaviors and destructive patterns. Psychotherapy is a unique process which brings profound understanding and lasting change both personally and professionally, often the value of this is more far-reaching than what prompted clients to seek therapy in the first place. The process of self-discovery is empowering as it allows you to make informed decisions and not simply react unconsciously to internal and external stimulus, repeating unhelpful patterns or habitual ways of relating which reinforce dissatisfaction and despair. Self-reflection can at times be painful but can also be surprising and exciting, ultimately it is invaluable.
Having an independent therapist who is not a relative or friend to share this journey with you can bring a degree of security and freedom, enabling you to consider taking what may feel like emotional risks, resolve conflicts, action change where possible and begin to accept what is beyond your control.
