About me
Welcome,
Life can be incredibly complex and overwhelming, leaving us feeling alone, misunderstood, vulnerable, and unable to cope. Then, heaping blame onto ourselves for that feeling, I am here to help. The following are just a fraction of the questions and mental health issues I work through with my clients.
- Why and how is depression, anxiety, PTSD, OCD, and lack of self-worth controlling my life and making me react in ways I don't understand that seem out of my control?
- Why do I react the way I do and make the decisions I do, only to regret it later?
- Why do we choose our relationships and friendships only to find we have repeated bad past experiences?
- Is there a possibility that I can change where I am in my life, and learn how to gain clarity, peace, and calm?
Everyone is unique, and in a safe, non-judgmental, warm environment, we can begin to understand the whys together.
I work in an integrative way, meaning I draw from different theories to help us understand your unique self, prioritising our relationship and your privacy at the very pinnacle of our work. I also worked with the Sue Lambert Trust in Norwich and now work with survivors in transition (SIT) and have a compassionate understanding of trauma and abuse from the past and present.
I also tutor at the levels of 3, 4, and 5 Advanced Diploma and can mentor any students with their learning.
I hold a Level 6 Diploma in Supervision, and I can assist with your client work, interventions, and theories used. Exploring transference and countertransference, building our relationship and also the broader context of professional needs, training opportunities, creating/strengthening a private practice, personal goals and the law
I work from a very private office with plenty of free parking outside, or just a short 10-minute walk from Cromer town centre and the train station. I also have an office in Norwich town centre.
