About me
Hi and Welcome...
I am an experienced, qualified & accredited UKCP Psychotherapist. I offer therapy to adults and young people (11 – 18 years), both in person and remote sessions
I work in an integrative way, meaning I integrate appropriate therapeutic approaches tailored to meet your needs. I believe in building our working relationship to enable trust and openness, supporting you to explore new possibilities and choices.
You may be feeling overwhelmed and struggling to manage, you may be experiencing life changes, relationship issues, or you may have longstanding life events which you need support with. We can work together to increase awareness and make sense of feelings and behaviours, their impact and explore how things could be different
I welcome clients with diverse identities, backgrounds and lived experiences. I have particular experience in supporting young people and neurodivergent clients (Autism and ADHD).
I have developed my practice to support a range of issues including; trauma, attachment trauma, OCD, PTSD, suicidal thoughts, self-harm, anxiety, self-esteem, family issues and depression.
Getting Started: Call or email me to set up a session and we can chat through what you are looking for and how therapy can support you. We can then agree the next steps together.
