About me
I'm here to offer more than just counselling and therapy - I'm here to be a companion on your journey. Maybe you're just figuring out who you are, what matters to you, and navigating life's ups and downs. If challenges have popped up and you're not sure what's next, I'm here to help.
I have sat alongside individuals from various backgrounds, each with their own unique stories and worries. I am curious as to who you are and how you are in the world; and I will provide a safe space, free of judgement, where you can gently unfold the chapters of your life at your own pace.
If the idea of starting therapy leaves you feeling nervous, or if you have apprehensions about opening up that's absolutely okay. I was the same when I first saw a therapist. To ease into it, we can schedule a 20-minute video call - a chance for you to get a feel for how we might work together and see if it feels right for you.
In our sessions, my commitment is to be fully present with you, sharing the moment as you experience it. Through this shared presence, and with some gentle challenging, I believe you can find meaning in your life, understand your place in the world, and reveal the possibilities to live a life more to your liking.
I trained in integrative therapy which allows me to draw on a number of different therapeutic approaches. I naturally lean more towards existential therapy which I find gives more freedom to explore who you are and how you want to live, gaining deeper insights into yourself.
All sessions are confidential and I abide by the UKCP Code of Ethics and Professional Practice.
Training, qualifications & experience
I hold a Master’s degree in Integrative Psychotherapy and Counselling, which has provided me with a broad knowledge of Psychodynamic, Humanistic, and Existential approaches. In addition, I have completed a Postgraduate Certificate in Existential Therapy, allowing me to specialise in this approach. I’m particularly drawn to Existential therapy, as I believe it opens up deeper and more meaningful possibilities within the therapeutic encounter.
I work with adults and young people. My experience ranges from working in Private Practice, Psychotherapy Clinics, NHS Cancer Centres, Universities, Secondary Schools, Pupil Referral Units and with families in the community; either online, over the phone or in-person.
