My Skills

I am a Counselling Psychologist Doctorate specialising in integrative therapy for mind and body. I recently received a MSc in Somatics and Dance which is an understanding which complements my applied approaches in psychology. I have worked across a variety of settings ranging from community,  inpatient and secondary care services.  I enjoy working with children and adults, using all of my training and experience to offer individualised care.

What do I offer?

I offer talking therapy to help with diverse issues. I mainly draw on humanistic and third-wave Cognitive Behavioural Therapies to a) help someone understand the nature of the problem and b) help them develop strategies to overcome the issue they face. My style is warm, compassionate and non-judgemental. I also offer specific therapy for trauma, this is EMDR, (eye movement desensitising reprocessing), a type of therapeutic modality that can help with a wide range of symptoms, traumas and stuck past memories and feelings.  At the studio, we are  also offering PEMF frequency healing using a PEMF bed. This method helps alleviate stress, sleep difficulties and promote cellular healing through low electromagnetic rays. The treatment can be an excellent way to de-stress and re-centre!

Venue

The counselling takes place in an upstairs large private yoga studio. The room is great when it comes to doing mindfulness exercises, mind-body exercises and more creative tasks. There is on street parking. Apologises there is no wheelchair access. The venue also holds regular yoga/mind-body classes at £10 a class. Classes are taught by a Senior Iyengar Teacher. If you would like to try the classes, please get in touch too. They are a great way to improve your confidence, body image and ability to tolerate whatever life throws at you!
