About me
Hi my name is Reena and I am a Chartered Counselling Psychologist. I help clients to understand the difficulties they are facing and explore possible treatment options. In my experience, people seek an explanation for their experiences of distress, collectively a formulation can be very powerful. I also provide individual, evidence based psychological therapy to adults, children and adolescents. I am an integrative psychologist, drawing on a broad range of approaches including Compassionate Focused Therapy, Person Centred Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, Solution Focused Brief Therapy and Systemic Therapy. I am also offer EMDR therapy.
My key areas of expertise include Trauma and Complex Trauma, Depression, Anxiety, Substance Use. My thesis specifically looked at discourses around Borderline Personality Disorder. I have significant experience working with people who have a diagnosis/working diagnosis of Autism, Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder and/or other neurological conditions.
I also offer a therapeutic coaching package for individuals who have already had therapy and would like support with specific goals, please get in touch for more information.
