About me
My overall background is one of working within the NHS in a variety of roles and settings which has given me insight into the stresses and common mental health problems that may present and how to manage them in a healthy way.
As a therapist I am a reflective practitioner, able to assess and audit my practice with experience of managing time and caseloads, carrying out risk assessments with the ability to liaise, refer back to the GP or other agencies, as appropriate.
The Therapeutic Relationship is central in all my client work. As a person centred, humanistic practitioner I use an integrative approach, the framework of which is Transactional Analysis. I have interest and knowledge in varied treatments, techniques and models of service eg relationship model, attachment theory, gestalt, CBT, working with the Inner Child, a psychodynamic approach. I also enjoy working creatively dependant on client need eg imagery and metaphor, drawing.etc
As an Accredited EMDR Practitioner I am able to work a variety of conditions eg: single event trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, panic attacks, stress, complicated grief, low self -esteem and performance anxiety. Hold current professional indemnity insurance. Enhanced CRB Clearance.
