About me
I am a fully qualified & experienced Chartered Counselling Psychologist (BPS) & Registered Practitioner Psychologist (HCPC), as well as a registered member of the BACP & BABCP.
I offer a safe, confidential space for clients to explore and reflect on emotional and behavioural issues. My non-judgemental, warm approach has helped clients feel at ease when sharing their thoughts within our counselling relationship, especially as for many it is the first time their issues have been voiced.
Being a Chartered Counselling Psychologist, I have obtained extensive training in the three main modalities of Counselling Psychology- Psychodynamic, Person-centrered & Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT). Through experience (& previous research), I have found CBT to be a very effective method of therapy; assisting clients in changing the way they behave and think.
CBT teaches coping strategies and techniques that help the client to independently overcome their issues. Moreover, results can be achieved and sustained in a short space of time. Notwithstanding, Schema Therapy is another method of therapy (which, likewise uses CBT techniques) I use for longer standing issues, which may require long term therapy, rather than short term (short term being approx. 12 sessions). The length of therapy is collaboratively agreed with the client, according to their needs.
