About me
I offer a counselling and psychotherapy service to adults. I can work with a wide range of issues and my training in existential therapy emphasises the universal struggles that we all face as human beings as well as valuing your uniqueness and way of looking at things. My approach recognises that there aren't any easy answers to these struggles and invites you to examine your current stance to whatever predicament it is that you are facing in a way that may be tough but has the potential to reap deep rewards for you if you are prepared to be honest with yourself along the way.
Training, qualifications & experience
I gained my professional training qualification at the New School of Psychotherapy and Counselling. I have got over ten years' experience of working with individuals and I gained an MA in Existential Psychotherapy and Counselling in 2018 from Middlesex University.
My experience includes working with clients at Mind, within a workplace counselling context at St Mary's Hospital in Paddington, London and at a low cost psychotherapy clinic, Dilemma Consultancy.
I have also worked for various charitable organisations, most recently for MS-UK in Colchester, where I worked with clients by telephone and video call diagnosed with multiple sclerosis.
Currently, I am working for Gloucestershire Counselling Service in an in-person capacity alongside my private practice work.
