About me
I am a UKCP registered psychotherapist, clinical supervisor and training facilitator, practicing depth psychotherapy and have trained as a humanistic integrative transpersonal psychotherapist. I work with individuals, couples and groups. With 15 years of psychotherapy experience, I have worked with adults of all ages from diverse backgrounds and have keen interest in issues related to anxiety and relationships.
My early interest in philosophy and psychology led me to psychotherapy training and my personal experience of psychotherapy convinced me how psychotherapy could transform our inner world and relationships with ourselves, others and the past. Before becoming a psychotherapist, I worked in strategy for both small private and large multicultural organisations.
I am committed to continuous self-development and practice meditation regularly.
My approach
I approach each client with care, consideration and compassion. My aim is to offer a safe, private and confidential space where you can explore what concerns you. You will be listened to and seen attentively and empathetically in a non-judgemental and supportive environment.
Working with each client is unique and I integrate different approaches depending on the nature of your concern, needs and personality. Each session provides an opportunity for you to understand why you think and feel in a certain way, uncover parts of your true self, and relieve your distress.
I accompany you a journey of self- awareness, growth and healing. Through the therapeutic journey you may discover your inner resources and power to see your circumstances in a different way, define new meanings, options and choices in life, and make positive changes.
