About me
I am a qualified and accredited psychotherapist working with individuals and couples. Whatever your difficulty, I offer a safe, confidential and accepting space where your experience, thoughts and feelings can be expressed and explored.
I work with a range of issues including bereavement, stress, anxiety, depression, childhood abuse and neglect, trauma, relationship difficulties, self esteem and eating disorders.
I am interested in how experiences throughout our lives can shape our perception of ourselves and others and create painful difficulties in living and relating. Psychotherapy can help to work through these difficulties; enabling us to respond to life's challenges with greater ease.
Couples therapy
I work with couples experiencing ongoing difficulties or a crisis in their relationship, providing a space where confusing or painful events and feelings can be safely understood, and restoring the possibility of healthy intimacy.
Training, qualifications & experience
I undertook a 6 year Masters degree in Humanistic and Integrative Psychotherapy. Prior to this I completed a 3 year Barefoot Practitioner Training which involved mindfulness practices and breathwork. In addition to my private practice I worked for two years as an honorary psychotherapist within the NHS. I have also worked as a counsellor in a drug and alcohol addiction agency.
