About me

I am a Counselling Psychologist with over fifteen years experience of helping people with a wide range of emotional difficulties and life challenges. I use a variety of psychotherapeutic approaches depending on the individual needs of each client. These include the humanistic, psychodynamic and cognitive behavioural approaches. I am passionate about working with people and helping them to make sense of their difficulties. Furthermore, I am open, honest, attentive and consistent. These qualities, I consider to be central to my way of working with people and in helping them to develop greater awareness and confidence in managing their difficulties.

I am experienced in working with a variety of difficulties, including:

Addiction - alcohol and drug misuse
Depression, anxiety and low mood
Trauma-related difficulties (including PTSD)
Personality disorders
Anger & emotional regulation
Complex or severe mental health difficulties
