About me
I am a qualified psychotherapeutic counsellor, providing a non-judgemental, warm space to support individuals across the UK. I offer in-person sessions in Wrington (close to Bristol and Weston-super-Mare), or online sessions for anyone in the UK.
My approach is integrative, which means I use different techniques and approaches to best suit the person in front of me. I sit on a person-centred basis, and use a lot of psychodynamic work to explore the root of what's causing difficulties, and how your life experiences have impacted your present. I bring in other techniques such as CBT, motivational interviewing, REBT and various humanistic approaches when it's useful.
I work with a range of difficulties, and help the person in front of me to untangle what's going on, to learn about themselves, and to support someone with whatever difficulties they are facing. I often work with people who have experienced trauma, and may be facing things such as people-pleasing, feelings of guilt and shame, chronic anxiety, and difficulty regulating emotions. I also specialise in working with autistic adults and have a range of adaptations and techniques that I use when working with neurodivergent individuals.
Training, qualifications & experience
My qualifications are as follows:
- Professional Diploma in Psychotherapeutic Counselling (level 5)
- Msc Experimental Psychology
- BSc The Science of Medicine
I also have experience of working in NHS specialist mental health teams, primary care and in charity settings.
