About me
I am an accredited Psychotherapist and qualified supervisor.
I have over 16 years experience of working with people who experience trauma, bereavement, relationship difficulties, depression, anxiety, and low self-esteem.
I offer both short-term and long-term psychotherapy. Short-term work may focus on a specific issue or challenge you are facing in the present, while longer-term therapy provides an opportunity to explore deeper patterns of thinking, feeling, and relating, many of which have their roots in early life experiences.
As an Integrative Psychotherapist, I draw on a range of therapeutic approaches to meet your individual needs. My aim is to create an environment in which you feel able to bring whatever is present for you, at your own pace
Supervision
Supervision is not just important, but essential within the helping professions. That is a non hierarchical, non judgemental space for people to feel safe enough to reflect on their work with clients, especially the uncomfortable areas of the work that raises shame and guilt within us. Without this space these issues remain hidden, even from ourselves, and will impact how we respond to our clients.
I offer both individual and group supervision sessions.

Training, qualifications & experience
I am a qualified psychotherapist with a masters level qualification in Psychotherapy and Counselling (Qualification - PGDip - psych). I am a humanistic and integrative psychotherapist integrating theories and practice from different schools of thought. I am trained to work long-term (psychotherapy), exploring unconscious problematic patterns of thought and responses which may be linked to childhood experiences or short-term (counselling), focussing on a particular problem.
My training included approaches such as Person centred, Gestalt, psychodynamic, psychoanalytic and Biodynamic (body) psychotherapy. I have had further training since in Dialectical Behavioural Therapy.
