About me
About me
I offer CBT (short term) and psychodynamic therapy (short or long term) for children, adolescents and adults. I treat anxiety, panic, low mood, anger, relationship difficulties, attachment difficulties and trauma.
I specialise in attachment and identity work with adolescents and adults (i.e. self esteem, confidence, interpersonal difficulties). This often involves making links between past relationships, and current symptoms/self-identity (although it doesn't have to focus on the past). I also offer therapeutic space for individuals querying neurodiversity in themselves or their children (pre-diagnostic screening, psycho-education). I have an NHS background working in CAMHS services and adults specialist Personality Disorder services.
I am a clinical psychologist which means I am trained to doctorate level in evidence based approaches such as CBT for things like anxiety disorders and depression. I also offer MBT, a therapy which supports people with strong and changing emotions and interpersonal difficulties. I specialise in trauma and attachment.
My personal approach as a therapist is warm, empathic and direct. I believe therapy is most beneficial when honest and authentic reflections are exchanged by both therapist and client, and I will be active in sharing my mind with you. We will aim to create a warm, compassionate and truthful framework to allow you to fully explore yourself with another.
I accept most health insurance providers.
Coming to therapy
The idea of coming to therapy can be daunting. I understand this and actively consider and work with the mix of feelings that can arise during the process of therapy.
Finding a therapist who is the 'right fit' is vital. I offer a free initial 15 minutes phone-call or Zoom meeting, at no cost or obligation to commit to therapy from you, to allow you to ask questions and see if we think we could work together.
If after this phone-call we decide we could be a good therapy fit, we will work together to build a detailed understanding of what has brought you to therapy, what patterns keep the difficulties going, and from this, goals for treatment in order to bring about observable change in your life.
