About me
I am a UKCP Clinical Psychotherapist working online and from a private therapy room in Newport Pagnell, Milton Keynes.
Whether this is your first time seeking therapy, or if you are continuing your therapy journey, the first step into contacting a therapist can be daunting. I hope to reassure you that our work together will be guided by you, your needs and your wishes. I work in a relational way, which means the relationship built between you as the client, and me as the therapist is the most important part of our work. By understanding you, your life and your relationships, we can hope to move forward and bring about the change you are longing for.
I have a warm, compassionate and patient approach. Having trained in relational, developmental, Integrative psychotherapy, I have an understanding of how the past and present come together in all of us. Bumps along the road in many ways, shape who we are right now. We will not focus on symptoms alone but look at patterns and experiences which are shaping you in the here and now.
I have worked with a range of clients around matters such as neurodivergence, anxiety, low mood, loss and bereavement, stress, relationship breakdown, family difficulties and chronic illness. When life feels difficult to make sense of, therapy can be a great place to explore why you feel the way you do and how to bring about change.
I offer a free 30-minute online session for you to be able to get to know me and how I work without any pressure to commit. If you decide to continue your journey with me, I offer open-ended therapy, asking for a minimum of six weeks to allow us to explore what has brought you to therapy and where you might like to go as a result.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am trained as a Clinical Psychotherapist and undertook my masters in Integrative Psychotherapy with the Sherwood Psychotherapy Training Institute. This was a robust training programme, giving me a solid understanding how trauma and life experiences shape our current every day experience.
I also hold a Postgraduate Diploma in working with Children and Young People, working as a school counsellor as well as with individuals.
