About me
Individual Therapy: Visit https://theperson-centredtherapist.co.uk/
Whether it's anxiety, depression, trauma, or a stressful life event or maybe there are some difficult relationships in your life, I believe that you can grow, learn, adapt, recover and flourish. Together we can create the healing conditions that can help you to reach your potential, whatever your age, there is always room for growth.
Lets start by meeting you where you are at. In this space there is no need to mask or pretend that everything is ok. You will be allowed to share exactly how you feel and what you think. You don't need to be alone, the right therapeutic relationship will help you to connect with and express your true emotions.
I am experienced at working with feelings of anxiety or depression, relationship issues, attachment struggles, PTSD, trauma, abuse and neglect.
I am non-pathologising, therefore I do not view distress as an illness or medical condition, but listen to your unique situation. During our therapy work you will become better able to connect with parts of yourself that may feel small, difficult, shamed or hard to reach.
I am non-directive and I would like to support you in your quest for getting the best out of life through a compassionate and empowering therapeutic relationship. Please email me to arrange an enquiry call.
Couples Therapy: https://thecouplestherapist.godaddysites.com/
I specialise in helping couples to resolve conflict, deepen their emotional bonds and create a secure attachments. Maybe you find yourselves stuck in the same arguments, struggling to communicate, or feeling emotionally distant from one another. Sometimes the connection has disappeared, other times, a specific event such as betrayal, loss, or a major life transition has shaken the foundation of your relationship.
My couples therapy sessions offer a supportive, structured space where we slow things down so that we can understand what’s happening deep beneath the surface for both of you, and learn new ways of relating that foster closeness, security, and respect.
I help you to understand and articulate why you feel the way that you do and I work with both of you, helping you to communicate your emotions and to empathise and listen to each other. Through creating deeper emotional encounters together you can build stronger bonds and create a deeper emotional connection. At its heart, couples therapy is about helping you to reconnect with each other and with yourselves.
Training, qualifications & experience
I have a First Class degree from Warwick University in Person-centred therapy and went on to complete and Externship and Core Skills training in Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFCT) and Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT).
I am a member of the International Centre for Emotionally Focussed Therapy.
I am also a member of the Person Centred Association.
I have worked with individual clients since 2019 and with couples since 2023. I see couples and individuals in-person at my therapy room in Rugby town. I also offer online appointments for clients who wish to have therapy from the comfort of their own home..
Before becoming a couples therapist I worked at a charity providing counselling for adult clients who experienced rape, sexual abuse and neglect. My trauma informed approach involved working with people who experienced emotional, physical or social impact of trauma and how this can affect relationships, trust and self confidence. My focus being on the person's story and their sense of what happened to them.
To this end, I work in a non-pathologising way which is empathic towards the unique experience of the individual.
Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
