Email meAbout me
Young woman of mixed ethnicity, BACP registered (MBACP), also currently training to be a doctor in Counselling Psychology and Psychotherapy (DCPsych).
Having worked in numerous psychological fields, I am well equipped with the knowledge of a variety of difficulties that are present in today's society.
I offer long term and short term work to all ages and genders. I have worked in the NHS CAMHS setting, offering one-to-one support to children and adolescents, as well as NHS adult settings.
I am trained in the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule and ADI-R, which are the assessments used to diagnose those with possible autism.
I have also recently completed couples counselling courses as well as group skills and have begun offering these services.
