About me

Therapy can offer an opportunity to understand ourselves better and to find ways to make healthy and positive changes.

There could be a clear reason why you are considering psychotherapy; maybe a recent life change or something that you have been dealing with for some time. In this instance, therapy might focus on helping you manage difficult circumstances or working towards reducing symptoms of depression or anxiety. Or you may have a more general sense that you feel stuck in some way. You may be feeling unhappy or anxious. You may find yourself behaving in ways that are difficult to understand or that interfere with your wellbeing or relationships. In this case, therapy could explore how past experience continues to impact upon the way you think, feel and behave today so that you are better equipped to make positive changes.

What I offer:

I am an integrative therapist, which means that I have been trained in and use different therapeutic modalities such as EMDR and psychodynamic therapy. I have 13 years experience of working with NHS services. This allows me to use my knowledge and experience of different theories to meet the particular needs of the person and what they wish to achieve.

My role is to provide a confidential, safe place to explore and work through things in a challenging but supportive way. As a counselling psychologist, I pay particular attention to developing the therapeutic relationship. Not only has this has repeatedly been shown to be one of the most significant predictors of success in therapy, but I am also aware that it can take time to develop a trusting therapeutic relationship, particularly if we have been let down or hurt by others in the past. An important part of my role to ensure that we move at a pace that works well for you.
